iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Using Christian values as our guide, we are continually building a creative, imaginative and joyful community where we aim that all: Romans 12:10 sets the benchmark by which we want our school to be judged.
In applying Jesus' command to Love one another as God loves us, our school aims to be a place where love is a way of life, received as you come into the school and taken out as pupils, visitors and staff go out into the world. We welcome you to our school website and an opportunity to be involved with your children and their education. Mrs. Amanda Pitcher, our Headteacher.
