Achieving, Caring and Respecting

2008 - 2009

A visit from OFSTED in april this year reported that the school is ''a very good school... Staff really care for pupils, they know each and every pupil very well and are skilled at overcoming barriers to learning... Personal development and well-being are outstanding. Without exception, pupils say they enjoy school''

In a letter to the pupils following the inspection, the HMI wrote...

''I think you go to a very good school. I was very impressed by the way you all work together, how keen you are to learn and the respect you all show each other.''  To read the full report from the inspector, click here.

This is our headteacher, Mr N. Booth.
