OFSTED REPORT 2001 [EXTRACTS]

"Since its last inspection, the school has sustained or improved its previously high performance. Standards of attainment in Key Stage 1 National Curriculum tests have consistently been above or well above the national average and the average for schools with a similar intake of pupils.

They are very high compared with the national average and well above the average achieved by similar schools.

What the school does well........
The school enables pupils to maintain high standards of attainment and make very good progress through high quality teaching and excellent assessment proceedures.
The recently retired Headteacher provided excellent leadership and created an ethos in which staff readily contribute their skills and expertise for the common good.
The school's rich curriculum inspires pupils' excellent attitudes to learning and high standards of behaviour."
