Jane Kennedy, Headteacher, said: 

I am really pleased that our school has been recognised in this way. We are a school that is clear about what we are trying to achieve and we work hard to make sure that every child feels safe, happy and is able to access our fantastic curriculum.
All the staff work extremely hard in every aspect of school life; the teaching, support and associate staff have all contributed to these Ofsted judgements and there is a phenomenal team spirit here.

I couldn’t be more proud of how our staff, children and their families have dealt with everything we have had to face. Our parents are very supportive and work with us to ensure that we are doing our best for every child. Our children have continued to thrive and learn through the most unique of times and they are what makes the school such a special place to be. 
The hard work and determination to make this a great school has been recognised and I am absolutely delighted for our entire school community.

E-safety is high on our agenda at school. We want children to be safe and responsible when they go online. Our Computing curriculum places emphasis on developing children's knowledge and skills to enable them to stay safe online. We would be happy to share any advice with you.
Parent Info provides high quality information to parents and carers about their children's wellbeing and resilience. In line with CEOP’s Thinkuknow programme, some of the content covers internet safety, but it all starts from the assumption that young people make little distinction between their online and offline lives and the issues for parents are often the same.

​We are delighted with our Year 6 pupils. Well done everyone.
