Here are some of the highlights of both reports: –
The governing body ensures the well-being of the school leaders and the staff. Staff are appreciative of actions taken to support workload. They are very happy to be part of this school

Pupils in this school are polite, well behaved and positive ambassadors for their school.

The vision of being a small school with a big heart creates a culture centred on Christian love. Transformative pastoral and practical care is prioritised in this school community
Emphasising an aspiration to ‘Be the best you can be’ inspires action. Pupils and adults express how the vision helps them to make positive choices about how they live and can make a difference in the world
Leaders care deeply about staff, pupils and their families. Good mental health and wellbeing are fundamentally important to all and a key to the school’s success.
