The leadership team has ensured that all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose. There is a strong and shared safeguarding culture throughout the school, which is supported by designated leaders in each key stage.
My son has grown so much in confidence since he has been at this school. He feels safe and is happy. As a parent of a child with autism, I feel so lucky that he gets all the help and support that he needs.
The number of pupils entering the school has increased sharply over recent years and, at the same time, the school is supporting a greater number of pupils with complex needs.

My child is very happy here. She feels she belongs, the teachers understand her, and she enjoys school.
