Ofsted Report We've recently received the results for the Ofsted inspection carried out on the 17th/18th March. The report is very positive, and we're particularly pleased with the following observation:    “The quality of provision for pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstanding. Pupils generally enjoy school greatly and this is reflected in their good attendance and enthusiastic attitudes. Their moral and social awareness is very good due to the exceptional care taken by teachers to show respect for pupils’ views and provide the space to discuss issues deeply.“ The Ofsted Inspection page can be found here, and a PDF of the full report can be downloaded here.
