'Since joining the school she has been so much happier to go into school each day, and is showing real kindness at home, especially towards her brother which is really lovely to see. Her reading has come on so much in the last month or so, and I am really impressed with the number of clubs and activities that go on. Very happy parent who can see a visible positive change since switching schools, which was only due to a house move, no other reason.'

CIS is made a wonderful place for the children by the outstanding staff. The children are safe, heard and cared for, which creates an excellent environment for learning. I often hear “I love school”, which as a parent says it all. My children are thriving at the school. Thank you!

These are our key school development priorities for 2025 / 26:

2. Oracy is explicitly taught and children use their skills to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the world around them.
3. Continuous Provision is developed in Year 1 to enable a smoother transition and increased attainment in reading, writing and maths.
4. Children's misconceptions are addressed in the moment to enable greater progress.
5. Staff training to ensure implementation of the curriculum is consistently good across all subjects and classes.
