Ofsted
“The headteacher leads a united team who are strongly focused on improving the school. With the governing body, the leadership team and staff have worked successfully to create a good primary school from the amalgamation of the infant and junior schools. Across the school, pupils make good progress. Disadvantaged pupils are now making broadly the same progress as others because their needs are being met.”
