You and your parents told me that your school is good and I agree with you. First and foremost your behaviour is excellent. Well done! Everyone gets on well together and cares for each other. The adults work hard to make school a safe but also a fun place to be. The school is very good at making links with lots of different people from outside who then come in and add something extra to your education. You are making good progress in your work and the standards that you are achieving are rising, particularly in writing. Your headteacher has developed a system for tracking your achievements
