“The Headteacher has successfully developed a school community based on caring and inclusive values. Relationships in the school are exceptionally positive.
“All leaders and staff, including Governors, share a clear vision for a continually improving school with high aspirations for all pupils.”
“Resilient, confident learners”

“I am particularly delighted that Ofsted has recognised the work we do supporting our children’s mental health and well-being in addition to the good academic progress that they make. It has always been my view that you can’t have one without the other.”
Strong leadership
