What This School Does Well

The school creates a calm, inclusive atmosphere where pupils thrive both academically and personally, with outcomes now matching national averages.

  • Attendance has risen significantly and is now above the national average for all groups
  • Personal development programme built on 7 'wholehearted habits' helps pupils grow in respect, fairness and confidence

Areas for Improvement
