We recently invited a Vales Based Education (VBE) auditor into school in the hope we would gain our VBE Enhanced Quality Mark. We are absolutely delighted to share that we have gained this prestigious award with the children, parents and staff demonstrating first-hand how we live with a culture of values which guide our thinking, learning and behaviour. A huge well done and thank you to all stakeholders – pupils, staff and parents. Sarah (the auditor) was able to spend time with small groups of stakeholders and was very complimentary about the friendly, calm and welcoming feel on the school gate; the nurturing positive relationships between staff and children; the engagement and genuine interest from parents and pupils as well as a well-designed curriculum underpinned by school values. Congratulations to everyone!
