Ofsted Report
Newcomen Primary School had its last inspection in July 2016 . It was judged to “Provide its pupils with an Outstanding education.”
We are immensely proud of this shared achievement which is testament to the commitment of all those associated with the Newcomen Family who strive for the very best outcomes for our children, our most precious asset.
It is a privilege to work with such supportive parents and carers, inspiring and committed staff who go the extra mile and our highly effective Governing Body, who challenge and support to ensure the children get very best start in education.
