Meet our Senior Leadership Team
Communication is a strength of the new leadership team. Staff and parents were well informed about the recent changes that leaders have made. The school has swiftly improved the way that the curriculum is delivered in class and pupils’ behaviour. The Trust ensures that leaders have the resources they need to continue to develop the school.

Pupils, parents and carers recognise the significant recent improvements made to the school since the previous inspection. Leaders have high expectations for the conduct and behaviour of pupils. OFSTED 2023 Report.
