RE Inspection

In November 2025 we were inspected and judged to be 'Outstanding'. The inspectors found that:

Strong relationships between the dedicated staff and pupils, lead to trust and respect, and exemplary pupil behaviour.
Pupils are keen and enthusiastic to contribute to class discussions and their questions show curiosity and a desire to deepen learning
Feedback in class and in books is high quality with most leading to pupils deepening their thinking and extending their learning, resulting in increased pupil engagement and motivation.
There is a strong culture of warm welcome and belonging. All pupils are known and accepted as individuals and treated with dignity, with staff going above and beyond to support all pupils and their families
Parents are hugely supportive of the school, there is a genuine collaboration between the parents, teachers and parish
Governors are highly experienced, committed and ambitious. They take an active role in monitoring and evaluating and are fully informed due to school visits
