Rawcliffe Primary School is a small, happy school in a rural setting, where children enjoy learning. Visitors to the school are always impressed by the friendly welcome and the cheerful atmosphere. Although our SAT’s results were disappointing last year, we were delighted that our Ofsted report in Spring 2007 recognised that standards throughout the school are good. Indeed, the Ofsted inspection concluded that our school is “a good school”.

The school has achieved both the local and national healthy school award, with the adjudicators being impressed by how the children “enjoy being at school”. Our children achieve well in sports competitions and we have just been awarded the “Activemark” status. We recently were judged to have the best technical dance team in the west of the county!

We are rightly proud of our Special Needs provision and Ofsted complimented us on our exciting curriculum which has resulted in excellent creative work. We work closely with the community and have a small but committed PTFA which raises important funds for extra resources. The children are given the opportunity to go on several trips and there is an annual residential visit for our Year 5 and 6 children. Our suite of wireless laptops has enabled us to extend the use of ICT throughout the school. Overall, we are proud of the fact that all our children are provided with the education which best suits their needs.
