Staff know children well and build positive relationships offering outstanding nurture and care as well as supporting and ensuring academic progress. We recognise our responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all our pupils. We set aspirational targets for pupils achievement and overcome formidable barriers to learning to achieve them.
