What People Say

What People Say

• OFSTED

  2024

  The school prioritises the happiness and well-being of the pupils in its care. Pupils said that adults listen carefully to them if they have any worries. Pupils are kind to each other and they enjoy coming into school every day.

• Parent

  Year 5

  We had a wonderful time grazing and colouring with our child. The treats were delicious. Thanks for organising the event.

• SIAMS

  2024

  The school’s deeply valued Methodist and Anglican heritage shapes a vision that radiates its biblical foundations and directs leaders’ actions. Reflective evaluations of the vision's effectiveness enable leaders to hone their decision-making resulting in flourishing for all. 

• OFSTED

  2024

  In early years, children settle quickly into school routines. They learn how to share and take turns. Children are prepared well for the demands of key stage 1.

• Grandparent

  Year 3

  It was very good to come into school into such a welcoming atmosphere, and a good change to talk to fathers and grandfather’s!

• OFSTED

  2024

  All pupils have opportunities to take part in a range of clubs and activities, such as sports, art and music. Pupils enjoy a wealth of opportunities to contribute to school life. For example, they develop their leadership skills through acting as school councillors and buddies for younger pupils. 

• Parent

  Year 2

  These events at school are enjoyable both for the children and families.

• SIAMS

  2024

  Impressive relationships throughout the school community reflect the vision to be a loving ‘school family’. This results in a culture of belonging where individuals are cherished, nurtured and celebrated. Sensitive and personalised support for vulnerable pupils, including those going through difficult times, leads to transformational outcomes.

• Grandparent

  Year 1

  What a lovely opportunity to spend time with my granddaughters in their school environment! Had a great time doing activities and eating cake! Thank you for organising it. (National Grandparents Day)
