The inspection team concluded that “Amesbury Archer Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards of the previous inspection.” It highlighted the school’s inclusive ethos, strong relationships, and the care shown for every pupil. Ofsted praised the school’s determination to prepare children well for later life, noting that “Amesbury Archer Primary School cares deeply about all their pupils.”
