These improvements, carried out across two years, meant that the school was judged ‘Good’ in July this year. The school community is rightly proud of the improvements made and they also know that the school improvement journey for the school continues. There is an appetite to continue to make improvements and a very positive mood in the school. There is a determination that pupils will gain a truly great education, with outcomes that reflect this.
