Steeple Aston Pre-School is situated in the quiet, rural village of Steeple Aston. The purpose built Victorian school has been modernised and extended for the exclusive use of pre-school children. We are the feeder pre-school to Dr Radcliffe's Primary School and we have a close working relationship with them. The children all benefit from this familiarity with a primary school setting, whether they go on to attend Dr Radcliffe's or another school. Please note: attending Steeple Aston Pre-School does not ensure a place at Dr Radcliffe's Primary School.
We are a voluntary pre-school with charity status, run by a committee made up of volunteer parents and staff, encouraging parental involvement in the pre-school. We are inspected and approved by the LEA, Social Services and OFSTED. We were last inspected in November 2011 by OFSTED and the pre-school received 'very good' overall and 'outstanding' in many areas. Copies of the report are available on request or at www.ofsted.gov.uk.
