At present the staff comprises of a Headteacher, 5 full-time teachers and four part-time teachers who job share, a part-time Special Needs teacher, an Early Years' Assistant and thirteen Learning Support Assistants.

In partnership with the whole school community we set high standards of learning and promote positive social behaviour and attitudes to prepare our children for life
OFSTED REPORT - NOVEMBER 2008
We had an inspection in November 2008. We were pleased that OFSTED concurred with our view that this school is a great place for children to learn. They said of us :
"This is a satifactory school. It has some good features and a few that are even better. Pupils' personal development and wellbeing including their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development are good. An effective emphasis on 'right, respect and responsibilities' has a strong impact on relationships. Pupils are keen to learn and their excellent attendance reflects their enjoyment of all there is on offer."
"The expemplary quality of care that pupils receive contributes greatly to their feelings of security, happiness and their strongly developing confidence."
