We are amongst the highest performing schools in the country (2013 performance tables rank the school in the top 150 schools in the country for both attainment and progress) and have an exciting and innovative approach to teaching and learning - a two-teacher, team-teaching approach in every class throughout KS1 and KS2 - resulting in exceptionally rapid progress (the school is ranked in the top 1% of all schools for value-added progress).

Outstanding teaching means that pupils make extremely rapid progress from Years 1 to 6. Teachers use their excellent knowledge of what pupils can already do to plan work which stretches pupils of all abilities. Ofsted May 2014.
