A 'village' school in the heart of Islington
Amazing, well behaved children who want to learn and want to be in school
Dedicated governors

Ofsted (Good, 2019) said -
The welfare of the pupils is at the centre of everything staff do
Pupils behave well in lessons and at break and lunchtimes. They are polite in the way they talk to each other and to staff.
Leaders focus on nurturing and supporting pupils so they can achieve as much as possible. They have thought about what pupils should learn in each subject and how to link subjects together
The school is well led by the headteacher, the deputy headteacher and the governors. They understand the strengths and weaknesses of the school. They have used this understanding to make plans to further improve. Teachers and other staff feel well supported by leaders. They have lots of help to manage their workload.
Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do well. This is because teachers and support staff get to know them and understand what helps them to learn.
Visits to the school are strongly encouraged and can be arranged by contacting on 020 78374049
