We believe in growing and developing the whole child so they are equipped with the social, emotional and educational skills needed to move onto secondary school and beyond. We have a strong PSHE ethos and each child is viewed and treated as an individual. We value our partnerships with parents and recognise the vital role they play in their childrens education and well-being.
The curriculum we provide is broad and balanced and tailored to our community. We enrich the curriculum with a variety of activities such as trips and visits to the school from different groups ranging from theatre shows and topic theme days to a mobile farm!
We hope that by visiting our website you will get a feel for our wonderful school but please feel free to arrange a visit to see for yourself or contact us for any additional information. Below is a poem written by one of our teachers which sums us up perfectly!
On a quiet street with not much parking, With a bell tower painted green, Is a school called EP Collier: Bricks are red and windows gleam.
