The Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) inspector visited the school during December and concluded that the centre exudes Christian friendliness, and effectively creates an "environment of care and belonging".

The recent report added that pupils are "lovingly welcomed each day with a smile and a handshake, ensuring individual recognition", and commended staff who regularly invite parents and carers into school to share in their children’s learnings, meaning a "supportive and nurturing culture is embedded".

Inspired by the school’s vision, leaders are said to ensure that staff are well-supported, both personally and professionally, with opportunities for further development through accredited staff training that is encouraged.

The primary school's redesigned and broad curriculum was praised by inspectors for how it has been reshaped to "encompass the heritage" of the local community, and for enabling pupils to engage with a wide range of learning opportunities.
