Values and vision

Ofsted report
“The headteacher is ambitious for the school. He has made staff more accountable for the quality of their work by restructuring the performance management arrangements. Lesson observations take place with no notice and this contributes to a growing ‘open-door’ culture of professional dialogue and aspiration. Well-structured professional development opportunities are provided for staff. For example, many staff have taken the opportunity to learn coaching skills and some are studying for higher professional qualifications.”
