Ofsted inspection (May 2015):  Requires improvement

As the latest report shows the school is well equipped and is leading improvement with ‘steely determination’. Dips in school attainment link directly to small class cohorts and high levels of SEN, however our progress measures are consistently good or better- with our disadvantaged pupils performing particularly well. Our most recent KS2 results reflect the improvements already occurring.

To assist parents and to broaden the experiences of out pupils, we also offer breakfast and offer after school activities. There is private Nursery provision for children aged 3 months to school age situated within the  Hilltop Children’s Centre, which is also on our site.

The Headteacher is Mrs. Emma Riley; the Assistant Headteacher is Mrs K. Williams; our administrators are Miss. Jennifer Fairclough.
