Ofsted said, ‘ At the heart of the school’s success is an inclusive child centred approach to all its work. Some aspects of its work are outstanding, for example the care, guidance and support given to its pupils and the extent to which the school promotes equality of opportunity for each individual. The pupils love coming to school and, as a result of the good teaching, make good progress in their learning and development. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school.’
