We are an Ofsted ‘Good’ School (May 2023)
Our school is proud to be recognised as an Ofsted ‘Good’ school. Our vision, encapsulated by ‘Believe, Achieve, Thrive,’ is the guiding light for our school community. Inspired by Philippians 4:13, ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,’ we are dedicated to creating an environment where every child believes in themselves, achieves their potential, and thrives in all areas of life.
Our school’s distinctive ‘family feel’ is a testament to the caring and supportive atmosphere that permeates our community. We place great importance on valuing each individual, ensuring that every child is supported to reach their personal best. Our wonderful outdoor spaces, including a forest school area, hard pitch, and a nature area with a pond, provide a nurturing and enriching backdrop that enhances our children’s’ learning experiences and fosters a deep connection with nature.
As the headteacher, I am privileged to lead a team committed to upholding our core values of Confidence, Respect, Kindness, and Excellence. These values underpin everything we do at St Luke’s, from building our children’s self-esteem and fostering respect for others, to encouraging acts of kindness and striving for excellence in all we do.
Starting from our wonderful Nursery, we offer a supportive and stimulating environment where a broad, balanced, and creative curriculum sparks children’s imaginations and fuels their passion for learning. Our children are not only engaged and enthusiastic learners but are also encouraged to develop a strong understanding of both British culture and the diverse cultures around the world. In line with our commitment to promoting British values, we ensure that our children grasp the importance of respect, tolerance, and diversity, recognising their role in our vision and daily practices.
Pupils are exceptionally happy and proud to talk about their school. Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils and provide an ambitious curriculum. They place high importance on pupils understanding their community and the wider world. The school values thread through every aspect of school life. Pupils are encouraged to show their resilience and to ‘bounce back’ when faced with a challenge. Ofsted
We provide a wealth of opportunities for children to excel in music, sports, and various extracurricular activities. Our curriculum is further enriched by numerous trips and visits, ensuring that every year group benefits from a wide range of educational experiences. We take pride in being an inclusive school, meeting the needs of all pupils in a respectful and supportive environment.
The recent Ofsted inspection reaffirmed our commitment to excellence and our vision of “Believe, Achieve, Thrive.” We are delighted that the inspection rated our school as ‘Good’ overall, with ‘Outstanding’ judgments in Behaviour and Attitudes, and Personal Development. The rigorous inspection process acknowledged the exceptional provisions we have in place for our children, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the staff, governors, parents, and pupils who contributed to this remarkable achievement.
Leaders provide pupils with a wealth of personal development opportunities. All pupils learn to play an instrument. Leaders provide opportunities for pupils to take on roles of responsibility. Pupils are proud of the difference they make to the school community. Leaders provide an inclusive environment and opportunities for pupils to celebrate their own identity. Pupils are taught how to reflect on their actions and their work. Leaders place a high priority on reading. All staff have been trained, which ensures a consistent approach to phonics. Ofsted
I invite you to read the full Ofsted report, which celebrates our unwavering commitment to our learners and families and highlights our dedication to ongoing school improvement, with children at the heart of all we do. The collaborative efforts of staff, parents, governors, the Trust, and our exceptional pupils truly make St Luke’s a special place.
For prospective parents, we encourage you to visit our school to experience our vibrant community firsthand. Appointments can be made through the school office. We look forward to welcoming you to St Luke’s and forming a successful partnership with all our new families. Thank you for considering our school, and we are eager to share our vision and commitment to excellence in education with you.

Safeguarding
There is an exemplary safeguarding culture at St Luke’s and this underpins all that we do. Leaders and governors make safeguarding central to their work and understand its importance. Staff are trained to identify signs of abuse and appropriate actions to take should they have any concerns. Stringent vetting procedures are in place for any prospective employees. The school environment is safe and secure. We work effectively with other agencies to ensure all children are protected from harm.
