Ofsted
“The school is a warm and welcoming place. Pupils’ welfare is a very high priority for staff and good systems are in place to offer help and support, sometimes involving external agencies when appropriate. A very high proportion of parents say that their child is happy in school and is well looked after here. One parent described how, ‘the staff have been excellent at looking after [their son’s] whole educational well- being. They have responded to any concerns immediately and have helped him as if he were their own’”.
