We are an aspirational and values-led school, we are proud of our most recent Ofsted which noted:
‘Courage, compassion and community’ are the values at the heart of this inclusive school. Everyone at the school wants the very best for pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils benefit greatly from the improved school curriculum. They are now achieving well.
The youngest children get off to a flying start. They learn routines quickly and how to manage their emotions effectively. Pupils are happy and feel safe and secure. Pastoral care is strong and ensures that pupils’ physical and mental well-being is a priority. Pupils trust staff to help with any worries or disagreements. They understand the importance of treating everyone fairly.
The school reserves the right to interview and, if appropriate, to appoint a candidate to this role before the closing date and so early application is strongly advised.
