School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You, your staff and governors have a clear vision for the school that promotes the achievement of every pupil within a caring community, based on Christian values. This strong sense of community permeates the school, providing care and support for pupils, their families and staff. Together with senior leaders and governors, you are leading a determined and effective drive to ensure continuous and sustained improvement in the school. You and your leadership team have a clear view of the strengths of the school and the areas that need to be tackled to bring about further improvements. You all share a clear vision to enable pupils to achieve the best possible outcomes and to become mature and caring individuals. Pupils learn in a happy, calm, orderly environment. During our visits to classrooms, the ethos was purposeful, with pupils working diligently and cooperating well. Pupils told me how much they enjoy school. The vast majority of responses to Ofsted’s online parent, pupil and staff questionnaires are positive. Virtually all parents would recommend the school, and they appreciate the teaching and support that their children receive. One parent spoke for many when she said, ‘There is a supportive and caring ethos, with a dedicated team giving our children the best education.’ Many parents commented on the approachability of staff and leaders, as well as the range of extra-curricular activities that the school provides.
