Whittington CofE Primary School in Oswestry has been graded 'Good' in all areas by Ofsted during a recent report published last Monday.

Inspectors visited the school on October 1 and were impressed with the high expectations for pupils' behavior. They said that the school "sits at the heart of the local community" and that the school's values of love, honesty, courage, quality and community "run through the school". 

Staff were also commended in the report for having good relationships with pupils who are said to "feel safe and know who to talk to if they have a worry".
