School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education at the school since the last inspection. With the support of your staff team, you have established a successful and nurturing school where pupils’ care, guidance and support are given the highest priority. The school’s mission statement, ‘Inspire, Enjoy, Achieve’, accurately captures your high aspirations, which you share with staff and governors, for pupils and the community the school serves. Since the previous inspection, pupils’ attainment has improved steadily, particularly in reading and mathematics. Although most children start at the school with skills and abilities which are generally below those typically found, by the time they leave Year 6 most pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, have made strong progress and achieve well. This reflects the strong leadership that you provide and the effective teaching evident across the school as seen during this inspection. Parents and carers are fully supportive of your leadership and are rightly proud of the school. They are appreciative of the quality of education that their children receive and the pastoral support that staff provide. The school’s high standards of care are also reflected in the building and grounds. Both the indoor and outdoor environments are extremely well maintained. The many excellent displays of writing and art work, in classrooms and corridors, show how highly pupils’ work is valued and celebrated at the school.
