"I am happy and pleased with everything the school offers, I am very happy my child attends this school and feel he progresses really well here. All the teachers are fab and go above and beyond for the pupils"

- Nurturing, opportunistic, safe
- Family, together, aspirational.
- Welcoming educational friendly
are a few of the words that were used.

Share your views through Parent View
We have been very pleased with the feedback from our previous parent surveys and have added a new system to gather the views of parents and carers.
You can give your views of our school at any time of the school year and at the time of a school inspection using an online questionnaire called Parent View.
Please register with an email address and a password at http://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk.
Once your login has been activated, it only takes a few minutes to complete answers to 12 short questions about aspects such as bullying, the quality of teaching, level of homework, etc.
Your views are important in helping inspectors make a decision about our school, and to help us know what is going well and what could be improved.
If you do not have a computer or an email address or if you would like help to use Parent View, please come into school and ask at reception. Below is a guide to the use of Parent View.
