'Staff feel well cared for. There is lots of relevant training to support staff, in different roles, to do their job well.’
'The facilities in the school are exceptional. The ‘immersion suite’ is particularly impressive. It enhances pupils’ understanding of the wider world. It can simulate different experiences, such as getting on a train or a plane, or living in an historic setting. These special opportunities supplement pupils’ personal development well.'
We really are proud of our facilities, in addition to the ‘immersion suite’, the academy recently developed two incredible themed libraries to help promote a love of reading as well as building stronger links with the local community and parents.
