I am delighted with the outcome of our recent COBIS visit. To achieve 3 Beacon Status is an outstanding accolade for the school and really reflects the commitment of the whole school community. I have always been proud of the focus we place on pupil and staff wellbeing and to achieve Beacon status for this shows we really are leading the way in this field and demonstrating exceptional standards from which other schools can learn.

Thank you to every student, parent, and teacher your work, support and commitment to this process and for your fantastic work and reflective of a strong team effort over the past 18 months.
