The Ofsted report contained comments such as:
- ‘This is a kind school. The school’s values of kindness, resilience, independence and creativity permeate everything.’
- ‘Welfare and wellbeing are high priorities in this small rural community school.’
- ‘Pupils are knowledgeable about diversity including Black history and gender equality, sexual orientation and gender identity. Pupils respect different ethnicities and cultures. They value the different contributions that everyone makes.’
- ‘The curriculum is designed well to meet the needs and aspirations of all pupils including the most able.’
- ‘Leaders and governors are ambitious for what pupils can achieve. Parents and guardians speak enthusiastically about the school.’
We believe that this is a very strong foundation from which to aspire to excellence in everything we do.
