Welcome to our thriving village school in the heart of Ditcheat village.  We work closely with our whole community to ensure that we achieve our mission statement to  Inspire a Love of Learning for Life.

Ofsted carried out a 2 day inspection in November 2021 and we are thrilled to announce we are a ‘GOOD’ provider.

Through our curriculum, we develop the whole child to ensure they are ready for the next stage of their life.  It is through the curriculum that we embed our values of respect, diversity, perseverance, communication, thinking, collaboration and caring.

We are proud that our children leave Ditcheat Primary School equipped with the knowledge, skills and understanding for the next stage of their lives.
