Stonham Aspal is a good school, which is as a result of all the hard work and dedication of all who are, or have been, part of Stonham Aspal CEVAP School. Our most recent OFSTED inspection, on Wednesday, 19th & Thursday, 20th April 2023 confirmed that we continue to be a good school. Below are quotes from our report.
If you wish to read the whole report you can either follow the link from our website on our 'Reports' page or go directly to the OFSTED website. "Pupils behave well in class and around the school". "Pupils feel safe. They understand that bullying is wrong and say it is very rare. They are confident that adults will sort out any disagreements, should they occur".
