The school is situated in a large community on the edge of Gloucester, 5 minutes from Junction 12 of the M5 motorway. We occupy an attractive site with a playground, large garden area and a very large playing field. We share the site with our infant school, nursery and before and after school club. The pupils, 355 NOR, are organised into 12 classes. The school has become incredibly popular in recent years with the NOR rising by approximately 20 students per year over the last three years to the point where we are now full. Our pupils are enthusiastic and happy; we are looking for someone who can nurture their social and emotional needs whilst keeping them interested and engaged in learning, to ensure they continue to make rapid progress and achieve well. Our last full OFSTED inspection was in January 2014, when we received a glowing report and an ‘outstanding’ judgement- incredibly rare for a junior school! We were one of the first converter academies in 2011 and regularly embrace the freedoms this brings us in terms of curriculum and other benefits. The school enjoys a strong sense of belonging in the local community. There is a lively, enthusiastic Friends group, who generously support the school; along with a very involved, experienced and passionate governing body.
