"Teachers build pupils’ confidence and independence. They encourage pupils to take risks and to ‘have a go’. Pupils become resilient learners."
"Governors are a force to be reckoned with. They live and breathe Sharp Lane Primary School. They offer effective support and challenge to leaders. They are passionate about improving the school further.”
