Ofsted

We were inspected by Ofsted in January 2023 and are proud to have been graded as a 'GOOD' school. We are very pleased that the hard work undertaken by all in the school community has been recognised, including the systems we have in place, the reflective and driven nature of staff/governors, the commitment of the pupils and the genuine good regard that all stakeholders have towards our wonderful school.  

Inspectors said in the report:

The school values of ‘care,believe and grow’ shine through at this friendly and inclusive school. Pupils know and understand these values. Together with the staff,they live and breathe them each day.

Pupils say that they are happy and safe here. They have many adults to help them should they have a worry or a problem. One pupil summed up this care and support by saying, ‘I call my teacher my school mum.’

Staff expect all pupils to work hard and behave well. They do. Pupils have pride in their work. They are enthusiastic in lessons and keen to please. 

Children in both the Little Conkers nursery and the Reception class get off to a cracking start.

Leaders have the trust of parents, pupils and staff alike. Staff say they are proud to work here and that leaders are sensitive to their well-being and workload.
