We can offer a prospective Deputy Head a school that in our most recent inspection in June 2024 deemed us to still be a ‘Good’ school (Ofsted) and our CSI Inspection in march 2024 found us to be a ‘Good’ school in all areas.

We have happy, well-behaved children who love their school and enjoy learning. Extremely hard working, friendly staff who are dedicated to supporting development. A close working partnership between school, parents/carers, community and church and a governing body who is fully committed to continuing the development of this fantastic school.
