Summary
With an Outstanding rating from Ofsted as of October 2024 and a high parent satisfaction rate of 98%, this school is well-regarded by families in the community. However, it’s important to note that there is limited data available on student performance, particularly in KS2, where no pupils met the expected standards in reading, writing, and maths. The school’s strong reputation among parents suggests a supportive environment, making it a compelling choice for those considering education for their children.
