Our most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2021 established that the school is now firmly ‘Good’, and that safety, good behaviour and high expectations permeate every part of school life.  The report also notes that; “Teachers enjoy working at the school.  They feel valued and supported by senior leaders and governors”.
