Thomas Walling Primary Academy, part of the Laidlaw Schools Trust, has successfully maintained its Good Ofsted grade following a recent inspection in January.

The report highlights the school’s caring ethos and commitment to ensuring every child thrives:

“Pupils thrive here. They benefit greatly from the school’s caring ethos. Decisions are made with pupils’ best interests at heart. The school sets high expectations for its pupils. Pupils’ outcomes compare favourably to national averages. The school does all it can to minimise any barriers or challenges that pupils may face.”
