• Leadership and Governance

We would like to thank the whole school community for their support, especially the staff and parents who continue to work tirelessly to ensure that our pupils receive the support and education that they so rightly deserve.

“The school is aspirational for what pupils can achieve. Staff are successful in their efforts to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their age, background or learning needs, receive a high quality education. As a result, pupils achieve well and meet their curriculum and personal goals.”

“Leaders, including governors, have an insightful understanding of the school’s context and challenges. They know what is working well and what actions are needed to refine their practice even further. This is because they have well‑embedded systems to check on all aspects of the school’s work.”

“All staff place a strong emphasis on supporting disadvantaged pupils, including those with complex learning needs. Teaching is carefully adapted and additional support is deployed effectively. The curriculum is responsive to pupils’ emotional and wellbeing needs.”

“Many pupils have experienced significant disruption to their education prior to joining this school. A key strength of the provision is the highly effective way that staff support pupils to re‑engage with learning and improve their attendance rates.”
