Report
This school is discriminatory. My son attended here in 2010 and he had dyslexia. The school failed to support him, and we had to move him to Christchuch. He was one of around 7 families with some learning issues who moved their children from the school. The current roll appears to have no children with SEN. By ridding themselves of the SEN children they can maintain good school results and avoid an ofsted since 2009. I would suggest it is quite vile.

My daughters go here. Staff generally good. They teach good values and manners. I'd say it's a good school from my experience.
