Don’t be fooled by appearances…
Since the current Head Teacher joined the school in 2009, there has been a huge turnover of staff, governors and pupils. Lots of families residing in the village within walking distance of the school moved their children out to neighbouring village primary schools. Whilst the school gets good academic results, there is a huge focus on maths and English, with other subjects being overlooked. There are many overly strict rules in place, and passive aggressive notices often appear in the weekly newsletter. Parents are subtly discouraged from interacting with each other. If they congregate for a chat in the car park the head comes out on some pretence to ‘have a quick word’ with one of them. I moved my child because I was concerned they would be given a really hard time moving up into the head teacher’s class.
