We are officially a 'Good' school by Ofsted - 07/11/2023 - We are a happy, friendly school where children grow in confidence, are motivated to learn and achieve academically. We are an inclusive school and have a strong commitment to working with parents. We want our children to be proud of their achievements and those of others within our school.
We celebrate achievements both in and outside of school on a weekly basis at our Friday Celebration Assemblies, everyone is invited to join us. We aim to inspire our children through our creative curriculum and provide rich, quality first hand experiences.
We make full use of our location in the heart of Hadfield and ensure we provide stimulating environments through trips and our forest school practice in our local community. We encourage a lifelong love for learning and challenge our children to achieve the best in all that they do. Please take a look at the video below to see our school in action.
