May 2025 Ofsted

We don’t do anything for Ofsted. I have always been absolutely determined that we do the best for your children in school; decisions we make are based on this.  We are aiming for exceptional and are always striving to be better and improve.  Nothing will change that – we are never complacent.

Our priority as a school has always been on developing a love and passion for reading. Reading is vital to success in all other areas of education.

This has had and continues to have a very high profile across the school. We are already seeing the impact of the changes and strategies that we have introduced. The children are making excellent progress across the school in reading. A large part of the success of our measures has been the partnership with parents. The whole school community has been developing a love of reading together.
Our ambition is to provide an exceptional education for all children in our school. We have had our best results ever and this is testament to the hard work of the whole school. The success of our school is a real team effort, everyone plays an important part. We have dedicated staff that go above and beyond, wonderful children and a supportive parent body.
