About

We respect the rights and dignity of all our children as individuals. We believe that they have the right to learn within an environment that is caring, supportive and enabling. We will work in partnership with parents and carers to promote each pupil's intellectual, physical, emotional and social development and thereby enriching the quality of life for all our children.

Because we understand the individuality and uniqueness of each child, we have revised our curriculum and assessment so that pupils can learn through one of three different curricula in order that we can meet each child at their point of learning and celebrate their progress in different ways.

We are all different and we like that We show loyalty to everyone involved in our School We all work hard to fulfil our own potential We have access to a broad variety of experiences for more information about our school, feel free to have a look through this website.

It's no replacement for speaking directly with us however , so please make contact by calling 0114 272 6165 or e-mailing
