Ofsted
Excerpt from our November 2016 one day inspection. This school continues to be good. This is a small, happy and highly focused school. You have methodically set about improving school systems and processes, with pupils’ needs firmly held at the centre. The school’s motto of ‘a love of life and learning’ is fully promoted in all of its work. Parents praise you and the staff for developing an all-inclusive approach, valuing each child as an individual while promoting pupils’ rapid acquisition of reading, writing and mathematics skills. Your vision based on creating a ‘strong family ethos’ permeates all aspects of the school’s work. Pupils’ learning and pastoral needs are understood well and relationships between staff and pupils are strong. You personally greet each pupil at the start of the day, aiding a smooth transition into school. In situ, pupils exhibit extremely positive attitudes towards learning; they are well mannered towards staff and each other and say that their lessons are engaging and fun. |
