Inspection Reports
As a Church School, we are regularly inspected by both Ofsted and SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools.
Highlights from our most recent inspections are included below as well as links to the full reports.
Ofsted
Last inspected: 17th May 2017
Outcome: There has been no change to this school’s overall judgement of good as a result of this ungraded (section 8) inspection. However, the evidence gathered suggests that the inspection grade might not be as high if a graded (section 5) inspection were carried out now. The next inspection will therefore be a graded inspection.
Summary:
- Pupils say that they feel safe in the school. Parents appreciate the school’s caring and nurturing atmosphere
- Behaviour at the school is positive. Staff express high expectations for positive behaviour. They praise pupils when they show one of the school’s values.
- Strong focus on pupils' personal, social and emotional development.
- Strong, nurturing, 'family' atmosphere which allows children to grow in confidence as well as progressing in learning.
- Pupils behave well during lessons. Relationships between teachers and pupils are highly positive.
