The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. The school serves a diverse community near the heart of the city. You celebrate this diversity by actively promoting a strong Christian ethos and a culture of equality, which allows every pupil to ‘let their light shine’. All staff have high expectations for pupils. Pupils, in turn, respond well, greatly enjoy their learning and strive to do their best. This is a school which places importance on the care of its most vulnerable children. Parents and carers describe the school as a place of nurture where staff know their pupils and families very well. Through this personal approach and high standards of care and safety, parents say it feels like ‘a family’ or ‘a village primary close to the city centre’. At the previous inspection, leaders were asked to raise attainment in phonics. The teaching of reading is now a strength. Improvements made to the provision in early years and the teaching of phonics overall have led to improved outcomes in the Year 1 phonics screening check. Teachers and support staff are well trained and knowledgeable. This allows staff to target pupils who require intensive support, including some of those pupils who have recently joined the school and speak English as an additional language (EAL). The use of well-chosen class novels underpins the teaching of reading and helps pupils to further develop their reading skills across key stages 1 and 2. By the end of key stage 2, the progress pupils make in their reading is significant and equates to the top 10% of pupils nationally.

2015 GCSE RESULTSImportant information for parents
Due to number of reforms to GSCE reporting introduced by the government in 2014, such as the exclusion of iGCSE examination results, the official school performance data may not accurately report a school’s full results. For more information, please see About and refer to the section, ‘Why does a school show 0% on its GSCE data dial? In many affected cases, the Average Point Score will also display LOW SCORE as points for iGCSEs and resits are not included.
Schools can upload their full GCSE results by registering for a School Noticeboard. All school results data will be verified.
