‘Pupils’ behaviour is good. Pupils enjoy trusting, respectful relationships with staff and each other. These strong relationships ensure pupils work hard and try their best.’

The staff are given excellent CPD opportunities across the schools and we have an active and supportive local governing body and parent community.
