In our most Ofsted inspection, inspectors judged the school to be a good school. The full version of the OSFTED report is available to download below and also on the OFSTED website. Click on following link:

OFSTED Report, April 2023

Here are a few quotes from the report that the inspectors felt were important, not only for us to celebrate, but also to spur us on for even further improvement.

  • There is a strong culture of safeguarding. Staff understand the important role they play in keeping pupils safe.
  • Pupils are being more challenged in their writing. There is evidence in pupils’ books of different styles of writing, for example in history, geography and religious education.
  • The school places high importance on establishing strong partnerships with parents and carers.
  • Pupils’ very positive attitudes towards learning continue to be a strength of the school.
  • Pupils feel well supported by their teachers and teaching assistants.
  • Governors ensure that the funding to support disadvantaged pupils is used effectively. As a result, disadvantaged pupils make good progress from their different starting points.
