The school is "outstanding" under the SIAMS framework (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist School) March 2015 which found "Christian values are embedded into the life of the school. Shaped by Christian values, pupils can grow in confidence and character.The school is an inclusive school in which all are aware of their innate value and worth. Guided by these Christian values, school leaders have substantially improved achievement and attendance of pupils so that most achieve at or above national standards."
We are proud to be a member of the Tenax Schools Trust.
We are ambitious and aim to maximise the potential of all our children and staff.
