We are also delighted to share the news of our very successful Ofsted inspection. Inspectors recognised the nurturing and caring environment that makes our school such a special place for children to learn, grow and thrive. Our Early Years provision received particularly high praise, reflecting the outstanding start that our youngest pupils receive.

Special recognition must go to Mrs Ireland and Mrs Stephens, whose leadership and dedication, alongside their talented teams, were highlighted throughout the inspection. Their commitment, expertise and care play a vital role in ensuring that every child receives the very best start to their educational journey.

I am also proud to share that we were one of only five schools in Cumbria to receive an inspection report that contained no areas graded as “Needs Attention”. This achievement reflects the hard work and dedication of our staff, governors, pupils and the wider school community.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement.
