Our recent OFSTED inspection in February 2019 made the following comments about teaching and relationships at school:

  • Teachers are wholehearted in their desire for pupils to achieve well. Relationships between teachers and pupils are constructive and are built on trust and mutual respect. This enables pupils to have the confidence to ask for help and support when they are stuck or unsure.
  • Pupils conduct themselves in an orderly manner. They are welcoming, self- assured and act in a polite and respectful way. Lunchtimes are calm, with groups of pupils engaged in friendly conversation.
  • The majority of pupils display a positive attitude towards their learning. They are keen to succeed and value the efforts made by their teachers in supporting them in lessons
  • Our school vision is to ensure every student realises their potential, through every member of our community having high aspirations for success, both within and beyond the classroom. You will be joining a highly skilled staff, who are supportive, show determination and resolve.
