📢 Wren 10 is out now!

In this edition, we're delighted to share the outcome of our recent Ofsted inspection.

Following the inspection in April 2026, The Wren was judged to be at the ‘Expected Standard’ in six out of seven categories, with safeguarding standards fully met.

This achievement reflects the continued commitment of our staff, the strong partnership we share with our families, and, most importantly, the outstanding attitudes and work ethic demonstrated by our students. Read the full newsletter to learn more about the inspection findings and other recent school news.
