Our School

St Andrew’s is a church school in the village of Congresbury. We are blessed with the most wonderful grounds that are spacious and full of opportunities in which to grow and learn, with St Andrew’s Church overlooking our youngest children’s playground.

The most recent Ofsted inspection, January 2018, saw the school maintain its good judgement. SIAMS judged our school as an ‘Excellent’ church school: “meaningful relationships and partnerships enable all within the school to flourish”. Driven by our Christian vision of “growing together”, we are a highly inclusive school. We are passionate about ensuring that every child leaves our school with the skills and experiences required to lead happy and successful lives. Children at our school develop their unique character with the support and guidance of the staff, their families and our church.

As a nurturing school, we were an accredited Thrive School of Excellence and are now an accredited Nurture UK school. This is was for our commitment to fostering understanding, skills and the positive relationships needed to develop and sustain healthy social and emotional wellbeing of our pupils and staff. As a result, team ethos is an extremely important part of our school.
