An Ofsted inspection in January 2019 graded the school as ‘good’ overall. Areas were also awarded as ‘outstanding’. In September 2022, we had another visit. The letter is a pleasing read and captures our school well.

We are extremely proud of what we do and often talk of ‘refinement’ as the mechanism to make us even better.
