Children in this school have a wonderful start and go on to become confident and successful learning. From the early years onwards, pupils are exceptionally well behaved. They act courteously and are polite.  ...The school is aspirational for all pupils.  They enjoy learning because they experience an ambitious and interesting curriculum.' Ofsted October 2024

'The open and supportive culture of the school means that it has become the school of preference for many families.  This is irrespective of whether they are seeking a Christian foundation or if their views come from a secular perspective.  The growth of the individual in a caring Christian community, that seeks to bring the fullness of life for all, is 'the Steep way.'  SIAMS February 2024
