Ofsted report

“Children get off to an excellent start in the extremely effective Reception classes, and are prepared exceptionally well for their move into Year 1. All groups of pupils at all ages make rapid progress. They achieve high standards in relation to their different starting points. Class teachers and associate teachers (extra adult support in class) aim high and always want pupils to do their very best. They provide teaching of excellent quality, and set demanding work that stimulates pupils and moves them on quickly in their learning."
