Welcome back to the Summer Term!
This week we had an Ofsted inspection. The inspector was with us for two days. During this time she visited classes, spoke to children and spoke to all of the stakeholders. We are extremely proud of all of the children and the team. Thank you to all of the parents who completed the survey and sent texts in. We really appreciate all of your positive feedback. We are unable to share the outcome currently as the report needs to be written. However we look forward to sharing it with you in the coming weeks.
