We have a Good Ofsted grading (November 2018) which specifically refers to our confident staff, high moral and the positive impact our actions are having in driving the school forward. Our latest SIAMS inspection (February 2019) awarded us the top category for Collective Worship and we received excellent comments linked to leadership, RE Teaching & Learning which is all linked to our overall character and quality as a Church of England school.
We have very supportive staff, parents and governors with a flourishing PTFA which enhances our extensive extra and wider curriculum provision.
