School chalks up top-class phonics test score

Headteacher Gary Parnaby, said: “We are extremely proud of the children and the staff who have gained such an outstanding level of success. Being in the top six per cent in the country is a reflection of the hard work all the children and teaching team dedicate to ensuring the children have the best possible start in their learning journey.
“Our Early Years and Key Stage 1 team constantly seek ways to improve and make learning fun and accessible to all. They also work closely with the Friendly Frogs Nursery, within the school grounds, to ensure the transition into Early Years is seamless and the teaching styles are consistent.”
