Leaders have created an inclusive and caring school environment, with a strong focus on personal development and Education with Character. Students are
respectful and behave well; lessons are calm and free from disruption.

The new leader will be inheriting a school with strong foundations, a broad and ambitious curriculum, a willing and engaged staffing body, and a huge amount of potential.

The values of the school are evident within the classroom and beyond - with good behaviour, respectful relationships and pupils enjoying their learning. The next
