What OFSTED Said...

" ​You and your staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that the school is a happy place, where pupils feel valued and supported. They thrive in this environment and those I spoke to said they enjoy school and the ‘fun learning’. The school provides an exceptionally strong range of opportunities for pupils to study a wide range of subjects and topics. Pupils have the opportunity to make use of the extensive grounds and explore learning in a range of contexts. For example, during my visit, a group of pupils looked at evaporation and were fascinated to see how water in a puddle in the playground reduced in volume during the day. "
