School Ethos

Recognising its historic foundation, the school will preserve and develop its religious character in accordance with the principles of the Church of England and in partnership with the Church at parish and diocesan level.

The school aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. It encourages an understanding of the meaning and significance of faith, and promotes Christian values through the experience it offers all its pupils.

Inspector's comments from latest OFSTED inspection March 2011

This is a good school where pupils make good progress and achieve well. The very large majority of parents and carers who responded to the questionnaire agree. One parent or carer, representing the views of many, commented, ‘The school gives excellent opportunities to develop the whole child – including sports clubs, musical activities and stimulating partnership initiatives.’ Another added that, ‘I have been very impressed with the excellent teaching, interesting topics and how teachers have met the individual needs of my daughter.’

Attainment is above average and improving as pupils in the current Year 6 are well on track to reach higher levels of attainment this year in both English and mathematics. Detailed analysis of the performance of other cohorts of pupils across the school and a scrutiny of their work show they too are making good progress and achieving well.
