Outstanding SATS results – well done everyone!
We had our first SATs since 2019 this summer. Our children did spectacularly well, with standards appearing to be well above national averages. Despite all the COVID disruption, our Y6 children produced the best set of results for a decade. Well done!

It’s good to be back in school after 8 working days on Y5 and Y6 residential in the Dales. The residentials have been fantastic, although poor 5W had theirs curtailed somewhat by appallingly wet weather that meant that they couldn’t cave.
