Passionate, experienced and inspiring educators.
"The Head Teacher has implemented a robust assessment system, which records and tracks
pupils’ attainment and progress against the school’s curriculum aims. This new framework
has raised expectations and added clarity to teachers’ planning and, consequently, their
teaching. The school’s assessment procedures are underpinned by focused discussions
about the performance of individual pupils. This is allowing leaders and staff to intervene
swiftly, if specific pupils are identified as not making the progress expected of them."
