OfSTED Inspection

Dunbury Church of England Academy was last inspected on 19th January 2023.  We were delighted that the inspectors concluded that Dunbury continues to be a Good school and recognised what a 'wonderful place that nurtures and develops each pupil' our academy is. 

The report recognised that our two school sites are united by a strong shared vision and values, which are evident in our pupils’ behaviour and attitudes.   Our pupils were described as kind and considerate towards each other and with a good understanding of the school's rules of be ready, respectful and safe.

The strong work on curriculum development was highlighted and celebrated describing our curriculum as ambitious and well sequenced.  Pupils were able to demonstrate to the inspectors that they are able to remember what they learn and achieve well.  We were also proud to have the strong start that children make as early readers recognised alongside a culture of a love for reading that we have created and nurtured.

This was Dunbury Academy's second inspection as an Academy with the Diocese of Salisbury Academy Trust.  It was previously inspected and graded as a good school on 14th and 15th March 2017.

The school was inspected on 11th March 2025. We are delighted that we received the J1 inspection judgement:

"Dunbury Church of England Primary School nurtures staff and pupils, enabling them to flourish. This is a result of leaders’ work in creating a Christian vision that accurately reflects the context of the school. The school’s work is firmly rooted in biblical teaching which creates a sense of purpose and direction. The vision inspires a sense of unity and togetherness..."
