About Hatch Beauchamp Church of England Primary School

Hatch Beauchamp Church of England Primary School received a Requires Improvement rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a step up from the Inadequate grade it had been given in 2017. The school's overall effectiveness score of 3 reflects the inspectors' view that leadership and management, as well as the quality of education, both require improvement. However, the picture is more nuanced in other areas: early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes were all rated Good. This small village school in Somerset, with just 27 pupils on roll against a capacity of 56, is clearly on a journey of improvement, and the Ofsted report suggests that while academic rigour needs strengthening, the school is getting the pastoral and developmental side right.
