Here’s what they had to say…

Pupils feel happy at this school. They make any pupil who joins the school feel welcome, such as through the buddy system. Pupils are respectful towards each other and staff. Everyone is accepting of others, no matter what their personal characteristics and traits. Pupils display positive attitudes to learning. Teachers expect them to work hard and try their best." (Ofsted )

All feedback is extremely constructive, and I feel comfortable to ask for help or support from anyone, including any member of the SLT team.”
