* Inspire * Care * Educate *

We’ve just had a successful Ofsted inspection and this is what they had to say about our school:

• Our pupils are friendly, lively, confident and genuinely happy at school.
• As leaders we are successful in our aim to ‘inspire, care and educate’ and we achieve this by having high expectations for pupils in all areas of school life. Our pupils are successful in learning because they work hard and want to do well!
• As a school, we provide an extensive range of wider opportunities such as trips, sports, events and performances. Pupils have the opportunity to go on residential trips every year from year 2, as well as take part in a variety of after-school clubs, such as dance, judo, football and trampolining, to name a few.

Our pupils grow their own produce in our school allotment to sell at our farmers’ market and we encourage as much outdoor education as possible, with frequent visits to our local farm.

We believe in a well-rounded educational experience for our pupils and offer many creative opportunities, as well as academic.
