What the school inspection says

“Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming and friendly school, where they thrive in its safe and supportive environment ... [They] value the many opportunities to develop and nurture their talents and leadership skills. A wide range of clubs, including trampolining, street dance and computer anatomy, enrich pupils’ experiences beyond the classroom. Pupils are proud to be house captains and members of the house system … Parents are full of praise for the school. One parent summarises the feelings of many: ‘The many wonderful teachers at this school are what makes it a great place. They are passionate about their subjects and know what each child needs to succeed.’ ”
