Child having fun with fabric to explore textures

Our most recent OFSTED Inspection (January 2010) judged our school to be ‘outstanding’ which means that it is highly effective and provides exceptionally well for all its pupils needs.

 

 

All students, staff and governors are pleased with such a positive outcome and regard it as recognition for all their hard work. They are equally determined to maintain and build on the high standards that have been consistently achieved over the years.
