All Ofsted reports for the school prior to academisation are available by following this link. 

Our latest Ofsted rating is Good (July 2023); we welcome the opportunity to welcome Ofsted and other visitors to our school at any time and hope that it is clear that we take the progress of children, school improvement and the wellbeing of our children very seriously.  

The school has the following strengths:

'Countess Gytha primary is a vibrant school. Relationships between staff, pupils, parents and the community are strong.'

'Pupils are polite and respectful. They talk about their school with pride.'

'Leaders have planned a broad and well sequenced curriculum. Beginning in the
early years, leaders have curated and sequenced the curriculum to make sure pupils
in mixed age classes move through their learning without repetition or gaps in their
knowledge. Published outcomes for pupils in mathematics , reading and writing are
high.'

'Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have the adaptations
they need to access the full curriculum. For pupils with more complex needs, careful plans and guidance help them to be successful.'
