FULL marks have been given to a Rugby primary school following an inspection.

The Crescent School in Bilton has passed an Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) Inspection, with the school judged to be up to standard in every area following a visit in December.

Inspectors examined standards relating to leadership, management and governance; quality of education, training and recreation; pupils’ physical and mental health and emotional well being; pupils’ social and economic education and contribution to society; and safeguarding.

The school was also judged as having ‘a significant strength’ regarding its ‘inclusive and highly effective focus and provision with regard to PE, sport and healthy living’.




Inspectors observed lessons, scrutinised pupils’ work, and spoke with pupils, teachers, senior staff and the Chair of Trustees.

They also observed extra-curricular activities, attended assemblies, and reviewed the responses of parents, pupils and staff to questionnaires.


The school was also praised for its curriculum, learning environment, teaching and recreational activities.

Headmaster Joe Thackway said: “We are delighted to have achieved a full clean bill of health from the ISI. The report is a really positive endorsement of everything we do here at Crescent School and reflects a huge team effort.

“My thanks go to the outstanding staff here at Crescent, our wonderful pupils and hugely supportive parent body, all of whom have played a part in this successful inspection.”
