Working Together for a Successful Future

Rated Good by Ofsted three times in a row!

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Ably supported by your senior leaders and governors, you lead a talented school team that shares your ambition for all pupils to achieve success.

Pupils told me that their teachers expect them to work hard, and I confirmed this to be true when we visited lessons. Their workbooks show that they are currently striving to achieve high standards. Ofsted July 2019

Working Together for a Successful Future

What Ofsted say about us!We observed some exciting learning taking place in

the Reception classes. Children talked animatedly to each other while engaging in their outdoor learning activities. The adults questioned children carefully, encouraging them to express their thinking clearly.

Teachers have implemented new strategies for teaching reading and writing with skill and enthusiasm. This has resulted in remarkable improvements to current pupils’ achievement.
