About Chollerton Church of England Aided First School

Chollerton Church of England Aided First School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2024, but the detail behind that grade tells a more striking story. The school received Outstanding marks in three of the five categories inspected: early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. That is a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2018, when early years provision was rated Requires Improvement and personal development was not separately graded. The school’s leadership and management, along with quality of education, both remain Good. With only 38 pupils on roll against a capacity of 50, this is a very small first school serving children from age two to nine. The headteacher, Glenda Glenwright, leads a setting where the early years foundation stage has clearly been transformed since the last inspection, and where pupils’ personal growth and conduct are now considered exceptional by inspectors.
