  • Leaders are highly ambitious for all pupils to do as well as they can.
  • Pupils live up to the school’s values of ‘love, hope, faith and forgiveness’. They get on well together.
  • Pupils behave very well in lessons and around school.

SIAMS Inspection (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools)

We last received a SIAMS Inspection in February 2016, when we recieved an outstanding grade.

The report included comments such as:

  • Astute spiritual and inspirational leadership by the Principal whose vision, motivated by her personal faith, impacts successfully on the multi-faith community the school serves.
  • Exemplary pastoral care and intervention strategies that overcome barriers to learning and enable pupils to realise their potential.
  • Excellent spiritual growth throughout the school ensures positive attitudes, enjoyment in learning and academic success for virtually all pupils.
  • The school, through its distinctive Christian character, is outstanding at meeting the needs of all learners.
