'A safe, caring, Christian environment, where every child develops a love of life and learning' |
OfSTED 2009 - Congratulations on a very successful Inspection
'The school has gone from strength to strength'
OfSTED says
Children enjoy a good quality of teaching throughout the school and reach standards that are above average for their age
The Headteacher gives a firm steer to the school's work, maintaining a clear and effective focus on raising standards
There are high expectations and rigorous monitoring of lessons
Governors gain a good overview of the school's work and challenge the school about its performance and use funds wisely to support improvements to the premises and curriculum - they take a very active role in the life of the school
Behaviour is excellent in lessons and around the school
Children have an excellent understanding of how to maintain a healthy lifestyle
They know how to keep safe
Pupils' positive attitudes and good academic skills mean they are well prepared for their future education
More able pupils are challenged and those with specific learning difficulties are supported so that they can take the next steps in their learning
Great care is taken to ensure that pupils are safe, secure and well cared for in school
At Early Years, children make good progress and enjoy all the activities organised for them. They make especially good progress in literacy and numeracy
The school values the support it receives from parents
Pupils say:
There is always an adult in school they can go to if they have any problems
They take responsibilities seriously and are proud of their fund-raising activities that support local, national and international charities
Well-established links with a school in Uganda has helped them learn what life is like in a very different country
Parents say:
The school has gone from strength to strength
At every level the staff are committed and caring, and this is reflected in the progress and obvious happiness of the children
They are especially appreciative of the good level of care provided to help their children flourish and achieve well

It has a warm, friendly, inclusive, Christian family atmosphere where each individual is known and valued. It has an enthusiastic team who work together to support each other
