Please find below our most recent Ofsted reports, and relevant information from the Department for Education Performance Tables.

It gives me immense pleasure to share our report with you. Below I have identified some of the many highlights.  I would like to say a huge thank you to the staff, Governors and yourselves for helping our school to thrive and be the very special place it is. The children must take enormous credit here too, as they are our real champions and ambassadors.
