Our Christian ethos and values, very caring staff team and exceptionally supportive governors and parents are reflected in the excellent relationships and positive ‘can do’ attitudes that exist in school. 

Our most recent excellent church school inspection in the Summer term of 2023 recognised that our Christian values form the basis of a very caring community. OFSTED judged our school to be good in all areas during their inspection in February 2024.

•    is caring, nurturing, patient and has high expectations of themselves and others
•    has experience of working with children with SEND

•    is able to carry out activities with individuals and groups
