In 2022, we began working with Challenge Partners to further drive the success of the school. Part of this work includes an annual three-day, rigorous peer evaluation of teaching and learning, curriculum and outcomes, and leadership at all levels. It has a sharp focus on the experience of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds or with additional needs.  

Led by an expert reviewer, reviews are conducted by a team of headteachers and senior leaders from partner schools within the Challenge Partners network. A collaborative process, all reviews are joint and outputs are agreed with the school - 'one team, two parts'. 

In 2024, we were proud to share that our Early Years had been accredited as an area of excellence within the Challenge Partners network.

Please find below our Challenge Partners review report from January 2025, which includes confirmation of Writing development being accredited as an area of excellence.
