“Children arrive at the nursery eager to engage in play and learning.”

“Children are confident and are keen to learn. They are developing the necessary skills
required to support them for the next stages in their learning.” 

“The outstanding curriculum provides pupils with an excellent range of subjects that are relevant to each stage of their development, their learning needs and aspirations […] augmented by a very wide range of extracurricular activities, which helps to produce open-minded and accomplished individuals.”

“The quality of teaching and assessment is excellent.”

“Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good […] and their behaviour is outstanding.”

We are delighted that the School report describes our pupils as “well-rounded individuals who are keen to learn” and notes they are “happy, courteous and friendly.” 

The Nursery report commends the activities we provide as “supporting continuous improvement,” with children’s social and language skills described as “outstanding.”
