Parents describe this school as being ‘like a family’. Parents and carers praise how the
headteacher and staff always make time for, and care about, them and their children.
Pupils are happy at school. One pupil summed this up, saying, ‘Nurture is very special
here… I have always felt welcome.’
Leaders provide pupils with an abundance of opportunities in addition to their usual
subjects. This is a strength of the school. Pupils benefit from a wide range of sport and
trips, such as visiting a castle, attending a festival, or performing in football and
gymnastics. Pupils enjoy their responsibilities in roles such as librarians and school
councillors.
SUAT supports and leads in the set-up of new academies joining the partnership. The services provided by the central support function cover both educational and non-educational support. In terms of educational support, SUAT is linked to the School of Education of Staffordshire University, which is an outstanding ITT provider.
