Our school is a nurturing environment that provides a well-balanced education, ensuring every child feels valued and supported. We believe in fostering a sense of belonging, where effort is recognised, success is celebrated, and nurture is at the heart of everything we do.
Ambition and high expectations for every child are central to the culture across the whole school, as children are fostered to embrace their true potential and be proud of their achievements. At the latest inspection the school continued to be rated GOOD. In the report they acknowledged the strong emphasis on pupils’ personal development and preparation for life, carefully organised learning to enable pupils to build their knowledge and skills over time (Ofsted March 2023).
