Relationships are a strength of the school. There is an inclusive culture where everyone is made to feel welcome, whatever their religion or nationality. The school’s achievement in this respect reflects their accreditation as a ‘School of Sanctuary’.
Newly appointed leaders have an ambitious vision of ‘academic excellence’ to prepare pupils for secondary school. Leaders have worked quickly to improve the curriculum. However, they are realistic and know there is still more work to be done.
Reading is prioritised throughout school. Staff have been trained well to teach the phonics programme. Children in Reception get off to a flying start.
A Message from our Headteacher
Our dedicated team of staff share high expectations for our children to achieve to the best of their abilities, both within the classroom and beyond. We create a love of learning by challenging every child with an ambitious, broad and balanced curriculum brought to life by inspiring and innovative teaching and delivered with a passion for teaching and learning. All learners are supported in their journey through school within a happy, stimulating and inclusive environment.
We are a restorative practice school which underpins our behaviour management, encouraging all children to take responsibility for their learning and behaviour. All adults in school have high expectations of our children in both their behaviour and learning. We pride ourselves on the caring ethos that is embedded within our school. Our school is a School Of Sanctuary. Please read more about what this means in the link provided.https://schools.cityofsanctuary.org/
