Ofsted report
“Reading is seen as crucial if the pupils are to succeed. Basic skills are developed well through a tightly structured programme that also promotes wider skills of comprehension. The active promotion of the school’s values of ‘Endurance, Hope and Trust’ through lessons and assemblies contributes greatly to the pupils’ personal development. The school makes sure the pupils get plenty of physical exercise. Pupils develop healthy lifestyles through their participation in a wide range of physical and sporting activities.”
