I am delighted to share our latest inspection report. (please click on the link below)

As you can see, the school is now judged to be ‘Good’ in all areas.

Thank you ever so much for your support over the recent years and for the positive contributions during the inspection itself.

I am very proud of the governors, staff and children for the progress that has been made and the strengths that are now evident in the school.

We are all looking forward to using this as a foundation to build on so that we consistently ‘engage and inspire all pupils to achieve their full potential.’

Kind regards,

Jeremy Fisher
