Ofsted

Our last ofsted inspection was in May 2010 and we were judged to be a "Good" school overall.  Ofsted said;

• "This is a good school. It has some outstanding features such as the care, guidance and support that pupils receive which are exceptional and, accordingly, pupils behave well, have good relationships with adults and other pupils and respect each other's achievements. The headteacher's inspirational leadership enthuses others to have high aspirations for themselves and their pupils."
• "Significant improvements in the quality of teaching and learning and changes to the curriculum have lead to an upturn in the rate of pupils' progress and level of attainment. As a result, the decline in attainment at the end of Year 6 has been halted and pupils make good progress. From a low starting point, pupils leave Year 6 with average attainment."
• "The school's outstanding work in helping parents to become partners in their children's learning has underpinned recent improvements. The school's performance is monitored and evaluated systematically and used carefully to make effective plans for improvement. The drive and commitment of the whole staff, together with the keen support of the governing body, shows the school's good capacity for continued improvement"
