We are thrilled to share the outcomes of our recent SIAMS inspection, a process that evaluates how our Christian vision enriches the lives of pupils and adults within our school community. The findings reflect the dedication, values, and nurturing environment we strive to uphold every day. We are overjoyed with the results and look forward to celebrating them with you, as they affirm the strength of our ethos and the positive impact it has on all those in our school family. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the children, staff, parents, carers, governors, our local community, and our church community for their incredible support—not only on the day of our SIAMS inspection but throughout our journey. Your encouragement, dedication, and shared commitment have been invaluable, and we are truly grateful for the role each of you has played in shaping our school’s vision and values.
