The pupils love it, saying they feel very smart and professional in their new uniform. It’s great to see them taking such pride in their environment and appearance. This has certainly been reflected in their mature attitude towards learning so far this term’.

Amanda Stothard, Senior Account Manager for New Directions said of her visit to the new campus ‘it is a really beautiful building. As I was walking around the school all the children seemed really happy and peacefully engaged in lessons. The atmosphere was divine and it was a pleasure to be invited to tour the building. I look forward to supporting the team on a ongoing basis’.

The school had OFSTED inspection in March 2014 in which they received a “good with outstanding safeguarding” report. A really positive start to the new school year.
