Sunny Bank is situated in an area of economic challenge; it was placed in special measures in June 2019 and joined The Island Learning Trust in February 2020. However, with recent changes to personnel, our children are now benefitting from a strong teaching team with a committed team of professionals; Sunny Bank is now a ‘Good’ school with attainment above national - despite the challenging context!
