Ofsted report

“Outstanding leadership from leaders and governors has brought about rapid improvement since the school became an academy. Teaching and achievement have improved considerably and are now good. Children make a good start in the well-resourced and stimulating early years’ provision. Teachers give pupils clear guidance about what they are learning and have high expectations of their work. Almost all pupils are from a range of minority ethnic backgrounds. The proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is high, including many at the early stages of speaking English.”
