What The Good Schools Guide says..
We enjoyed an exciting science experiment with big flames, something to do with methane bubbles. Safety goggles were worn, and some pupils left the room temporarily; some retreated to the back of the classroom while others were in the thick of it. Inspirational stuff.

What The Good Schools Guide says
Head of school
Since 2021, Stephanie Smith. Came to teaching after one of her children was diagnosed with autism aged 7. Studied at the Open University for a maths degree with the intention to teach and specialise in special needs. Spent a year working as a teaching assistant in a special school whilst training. ‘I was in a class with children who had needs and quickly realised that if the needs were met the children did so much better - very obvious really. It was good for me to experience being on the other side of the desk so to speak.’ Worked in a secondary school in Peterborough as a maths teacher for six years working her way up, concentrating on the SEND side of education too.
This is her first headship....
