‘Teachers have strong specialist knowledge of the subjects they teach. They are adept at responding to pupils’ daily changing needs, adapting the curriculum and recapping on prior teaching to help pupils learn extremely well.’ OFSTED Nov ‘23

 ‘Leaders and governors recognise the dedication of staff. They make sure their well-being is prioritised. Staff are extremely, and rightly, proud to work at the school.

You will quickly see that you are applying to an extremely successful school with a clear ethos of achievement, continuity and enjoyment for our truly exceptional pupils.
