Our Diocese adviser Helen Craig came to visit on the 24th June 2025 and commented:

"It has been a delight to work with the Headteacher and the school. They are a team who clearly live out the school vision even in the height of adversity and challenges that are still ongoing. The Headteacher and the team keep the pupils at the heart of everything they do. This makes St Andrew's such a wonderful school."

When Raj (a member of our local Hindu temple) visited Year 4 recently, he commented:

"Your pupils show remarkable curiosity and depth of understanding. It is clear that they are being nurtured in an environment that fosters not only academic excellence but also a keen interest in cultural and moral values."

SIAMS inspection 2025:

Our last SIAMS inspection was in July 2025 we were delighted with the following strengths that the inspector found:

• Staff are proud to be members of the St Andrew’s team. This means that the school is resilient to challenges. As a result, during the last two years pupils and adults have flourished in adversity.
• Every child being loved and known is lived out as a daily reality in the midst of difficulties. The impact is shown through the commitment and support of staff for pupils and one another.
• In school leadership is exemplary and has been inspired, strengthened and held firm by the vision. Working together in rewarding partnerships within the community and with the diocese, leaders improve and strengthen the vision's impact.
• Through the living out of the CARE values adults and pupils highly respect one another. Wellbeing is a high priority and Christian love is shown through goodness, kindness and forgiveness.
• Collective worship is a time of reflection and peace for pupils and staff. This has a significant impact upon their spiritual flourishing.
