We are really pleased to make a copy of our most recent OFSTED inspection available on our school website.
We are delighted that as a school we continue to be judged as a good school and that the report gives clear recognition of many of the things that we are so rightly proud of about our school.
It is so important that our children are happy and that there is a sense of fun within school, with relationships between adults and pupils described as being strong and respectful.
The inspector clearly recognised that all staff expect the very best of our pupils and that safeguarding arrangements are effective.
We hope that you enjoy reading the report in full and that it gives you a clear picture of how OFSTED views the strengths of our school and identifies what we need do to help our school be even better.
Yours sincerely
Mrs Heather Shaw
Head Teacher
