"Pupils love their school. They see it as a friendly place where everyone is welcome. Pupils new to the school settle in quickly and soon make friends.

In the early years, children’s happy faces show how safe and secure they feel here. Parents and carers have plenty of positive things to say about the school. There are high expectations for pupils’ achievement, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Pupils work hard and listen attentively in lessons. Pupils have access to plenty of resources to help them with their learning, such as dictionaries, books and technology. However, they know that they can always ask their teachers for help if there is something that they do not understand.

In all year groups, pupils learn and achieve well. Pupils understand and follow the school’s rules and routines. Children in the early years share toys and resources and treat them carefully. Pupils walk sensibly from assembly back to their classrooms. Older pupils show care and consideration for younger ones when they share the playground at breaktimes. These attitudes help to make the school a calm and orderly place.

The amazing opportunities for pupils’ personal development bely the school’s small size. Pupils bubble with enthusiasm when they talk about the range of activities on offer. For example, they learn to sail, ride ponies and to take part in debates with other schools. Older pupils look forward excitedly to residential stays in this country and abroad. Pupils are exceptionally well prepared for life beyond their primary school." (Ofsted Nov 2023)

"At Culgaith C of E School we believe that we are all uniquely created individual parts of one body.

Our school is a place where we value the character of every child and strive for all to be ambitious for themselves

and their world. Our school vision encompasses our ambitions as a school. We strive to celebrate the unique qualities of all of our students and promote ambition for all. Our vision is inspired by Psalm 139:14: “You are fearfully and wonderfully

made” and by 1 Corinthians 12:12 – “Many parts but one body.”

Culgaith Church of England School is living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish.

• The school’s Christian vision has a strong biblical underpinning. The associated Christian values are

understood and lived out by pupils and adults. This enables them to feel ‘wonderfully made’ and part of

‘one body’

• Leaders use the Christian vision to shape the curriculum. The well-planned range of experiences within it

and the extra-curricular offer, enables pupils, including the vulnerable, to flourish.

• Collective worship expresses the vision and deeply impacts on the school community. It is expertly planned

and organised. Pupils and adults value the time to come together as ‘one body’.

• Relationships within the school are strong. With the vision at its heart, the school recognises and values the

unique talents of pupils and adults. Wellbeing is a high priority and there is an overwhelming sense of

Christian unity.

• Leaders ensure that pupils have opportunities to be responsible for each other and their community. By

thinking globally and acting locally, staff empower them to be agents of change through engagement in

local and global issues.

• The leadership has skilfully designed a well-balanced, engaging religious education (RE) curriculum, which

builds on prior knowledge. Pupils demonstrate a deep understanding of worldviews and religions,

including Christianity." (SIAMS Jan 2025)
