    Ofsted Piccadilly Gate Store Street Manchester T 0300 123 4234 M1 2WD www.gov.uk/ofsted 7 July 2016 Mrs Debbie Cockrean Coombe Bissett Church of England Primary School Shutts Lane Coombe Bissett Salisbury Wiltshire SP5 4LU Dear Mrs Cockrean Short inspection of Coombe Bissett Church of England Primary School Following my visit to the school on 21 June 2016, I write on behalf of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills to report the inspection findings. The visit was the first short inspection carried out since the school was judged to be good in January 2011. This school continues to be good. The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since the last inspection you have continued to foster a school culture in which every pupil is valued, supported and celebrated, regardless of their background. The school’s Christian values effectively underpin the work of all staff and governors at the school. As a result, pupils appreciate the importance of values such as respect and tolerance, and embody them each day at school. Pupils speak very highly of the support that they receive from staff to help them with their academic learning and their personal and emotional well-being. One pupil who spoke to me said, ‘The teachers care for all the children.’ Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school’s commitment to provide a full, rounded education in a caring, nurturing environment. You also have high ambitions for every pupil. Pupils are now set more challenging targets in their subjects and teachers expect more of pupils.

  • Britford Church, Wiltshire
    Church of St. Peter, Britford, Wilts. Taylor’s account of this church runs to a good two pages, but visible remains condense down to two side arches which originally led to their individual porticus, or side chapel, parts of the south doorway (much restored), and parts of the walls. Having been reopened in the restoration of 1873 the two nave arches were provided with small annexes into which they now open. Rickman saw the (then) blocked arches and dated them as Anglo-Saxon. Taylor puts a date (one of his standard bracketed dates) of 800-950. I would prefer a (tentative) date of c.850, in part because of the generous width of the nave. There remains part of the fabric of the nave and parts of the east walls of both porticus embedded in the medieval transepts. The south porch was built to protect the pre-conquest nave doorway which was reopened; it is however much altered. The porch dated to the 1873 restoration. Pages 1 & 2 have been added/inserted in 2011 (and revised in 2019) and to avoid disturbing the original numbering the other pictures, those on these 2 pages are 1 individually numbered. The topmost picture is of the church from the SW and it shows (red arrow) the south annexe built to protect the opened up south archway to its ‘lost’ porticus. The nave west wall is possibly a Georgian rebuild and with a new and larger west window dating to the Victorian restoration. At that time the west doorway was removed along with its plain porch, probably also Georgian in date.

  • Wiltshire Yews an Inventory of Churchyard Yews Along the Ebble Valley
    Wiltshire Yews An Inventory of Churchyard Yews Along the Ebble Valley By Peter Norton 1 Introduction: This report is the second of five observations of churchyard yews in and around the rivers Wylye, Ebble, Nadder and Bourne that converge with the Salisbury/Hampshire Avon as it flows through the Salisbury area. The Ebble is a fine chalk stream rising to the east of Berwick St John and just above the village of Alvediston, some twelve miles to the west of Salisbury and then converging with the Avon two miles south of Salisbury at Bodenham. Its major tributary the Chalke rises in Bowerchalke and converges with the Ebble at Mount Sorrel in Broad Chalke. All of the villages along this route were included, with thirteen churchyards visited. Of these eleven contained yew trees, and although many of those mentioned are small in stature compared to some of the giants already recorded within the Yew Gazetteer, it was felt that as time progresses, these younger trees will become our future giants for the next generations of yew enthusiasts. A total of twenty seven trees were noted at these sites of which eighteen had measurements recorded. (See graph below which has been grouped by girth and does not include any estimated* values.) Imperial measurements were taken during the recording exercise and converted to Metric. Please note that in multiple individual tree measurements only the lowest to the root/ground was used for this graph. Measured Yew Trees by Girth Range 10 s e e r t f o r e b m 5 u N 0 0.5M 1.0M 1.5M 2.0M 2.5M 3.0M 3.5M 4.0M 4.5M 5.0M to to to to to to to to to to 1.0M 1.5M 2.0M 2.5M 3.0M 3.5M 4.0M 4.5M 5.0M 0.0M Where Irish Yews were significant in number at the documented churchyards, they are also included in this report.
