Our school is currently an outstanding school and we are working extremely hard to maintain this status.

We are a school who has a high focus on data assessment, but who also understands children need to have fun to learn and progress. We are a highly professional school who strive for high standards in organising the school with a business attitude to running the school; however, importantly a school who also has an extremely high commitment to partnership working with the community, parents and pupils.
