The report praised the school’s teachers and support staff for their passion, dedication, and tireless efforts to create a nurturing learning environment. The report describes the school as ‘an oasis of calm’ where pupils flourish academically, socially and emotionally.
The inspectors were impressed by the trust’s rigorous curriculum offer, effective teaching methods, and the high standards of achievement and progress demonstrated by children across all year groups.
