Standens Barn Primary School

Standens Barn Primary School is a community school, which has increased in size to two form entry over the last four years. Free School Meals, English as an Additional Lanaguage and mobility are all above the national average.

In recent years, standards at our school have risen considerably. Despite low starting points, pupils make rapid progress in all subjects during their time with us.

Progress of this kind draws the inevitable question: How did you do it? It is not a straightforward answer. The complexity of improving a school is not about a single change but about an eclectic mix of ideas and focussing on them at the right time with the right intensity. It did, however, begin with the notion that every child had the right to achieve their best.
