School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You and the governing body are successfully managing changes as the school expands. You have established a clear vision for the school, building on previous successes and strengthening the school still further. You have carefully recruited new staff and have built a strong team of teaching staff. This, combined with the professional development you provide, is supporting continued improvement in the quality of teaching. Everyone is committed to further improving outcomes for pupils. There is an all-pervasive caring ethos. Pupils are proud of their school and they show respect and consideration for each other and their teachers. Relationships are very strong. Pupils have very positive attitudes to learning. They collaborate and work well together. Parents are almost unanimous in their praise for your school. Many offered comments relating to how pupils flourish ‘both academically and holistically’. You place clear emphasis on pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, which is strong. Pupils in Year 6 spoke very eloquently about the importance of challenging stereotypes in relation to gender or religious belief: ‘People should treat each other with respect.’ They conduct themselves impeccably around the school and in classrooms where they concentrate, apply themselves to their work and confidently offer contributions to class discussions.
