Ofsted report 

“The executive headteacher, her staff and governors provide very strong leadership. They are focussed exceptionally well on improving the quality of teaching and accelerating progress further in Key Stage 2… Attainment is above the national average in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Year 2 and Year 6 and improving. All pupils make good progress.
