Ofsted Inspection January 2026

We are delighted to share the positive outcome of our most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2026. Inspectors recognised Peppard Church of England Primary School as a warm, nurturing and ambitious school community where pupils feel safe, valued and proud to belong.

The report highlights the strong culture across the school, noting pupils’ exemplary behaviour, enthusiasm for learning and confidence in sharing their ideas. Inspectors also praised the calm, purposeful classrooms and the strong relationships between staff and pupils that create a supportive environment where children thrive.

Early reading and phonics were identified as particular strengths, with skilful teaching helping children develop the essential foundations for reading and writing. The inspection also recognised the school’s rich programme of trips, clubs and leadership opportunities that support pupils’ personal development and confidence.

Inspectors noted that pupils describe the school as feeling like “a family”, reflecting the strong sense of community that lies at the heart of Peppard.

We are incredibly proud of our pupils, staff and families who make our school such a special place to learn and grow.
