Ofsted & SIAMS

Please find above our most recent Ofsted & SIAMS reports. 

Data Overview

The Department for Education (DfE) have expressed caution when considering the school data over the period of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the 'uneven impact of the pandemic on 2021/22 school and college performance data'.

The DFE recommends:

- Not making direct comparisons with data from previous years or between schools or colleges.

It is not encouraged to make comparisons when reviewing the 2018-19 data and the non-statutory 2021-22 data.

Our Data 2021-22

Although assessment was completed during the 2021-22 academic year, the Government have held off the requirement to publish data, due to the impact of the pandemic on performance, until next academic year (2023-2024). Therefore there are no official links of tables to demonstrate school performance.  Our data is as follows:

EYFS Results 2022
