OFSTED, January 2023

We are very much a school that places our children at the heart of all we do: providing superb pastoral care, actively promoting equality and diversity, and thereby ensuring that Yew Tree is an extremely welcoming, inclusive, and caring school.

Pupils enjoy participating in school as it is a happy, friendly, stimulating, and vibrant learning environment with a clear focus on helping everyone to develop their potential, whatever that might be and helping to ensure they will become positive members of their community and society.

Pupils are at the heart of an encouraging and challenging curriculum and environment where everyone recognises and celebrates differences, communicates the importance of learning, and believes that everyone can achieve, and this is underpinned by extremely positive and trusting relationships with parents and the local community.
