"Good but Room for Improvement"

We are generally pleased with Meavy CE Primary School, but we do feel that the school could do more to support children with special needs. Our child's SENCo has been very helpful, but we have had to advocate for additional resources on occasion. That being said, the school's values and commitment to the local community are truly commendable.
