Dear Parents and Carers,
Finally it looks like the first signs of spring are in the air and it won’t be long now
until the evenings are drawing out and the temperatures are hopefully rising! It
has been a very busy term so far. As you will be aware our school was inspected
by Ofsted on Tuesday 7th March. I would like to thank everyone who contributed
their views to the inspection either verbally or through the Parent View portal.
Your views are greatly appreciated and help us to shape our ongoing focus for
school improvement. We look forward to sharing the Inspection report with you
when it is published in approximately two weeks time.
Kind regards, Chris Davey.
