A PRIMARY school has received praise following an inspection.

Holy Trinity CE Primary in Cuckfield has recently received a Siams (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) report, following its inspection by the Diocese of Chichester. 

The inspector Virginia Corbyn was impressed by the “engaging and inclusive curriculum” and the children’s “exemplary behaviour”.

The Siams inspection, which took place in March, highlighted several areas as part of its overall Good judgement. 

Ms Corbyn, noted Holy Trinity’s curriculum, “based on the individual needs of pupils means that all flourish in their learning” and that there is “a culture which is rich in aspiration [and] builds resilience and perseverance”.

The report found: “The Christian vision of the school is lived out day by day in the actions of all members of the school community. 

“This vision is led powerfully by school leaders.” 

The school’s commitment to prioritising the mental health and wellbeing of all members of the school community was also noted.

Holy Trinity’s headteacher Ann MacGregor said: “We are delighted that the Siams report recognises what a special school Holy Trinity is. 

“Our children are at the centre of all we do, to enable them to flourish, whether we are teaching them or offering focused educational or emotional support. 

“Our care extends to our amazing staff and beyond the school gate to our school families.”

As a Church-aided school, the school is inspected by both the Diocese and Ofsted. 

The Siams inspection provides an evaluation of the impact of the school's Christian vision on the pupils’ education and development, as well as on the school staff and wider community. 

Holy Trinity, in Glebe Road, is the first church school in West Sussex to be inspected under a new inspection framework.
