Our vision is for pupils to become independent, motivated learners and responsible citizens which is evident as soon as you step foot inside our doors. The children are at the centre of everything we do and they have a genuine voice in how the school looks and feels.
We have high expectations of behaviour and standards of work, and offer all pupils a wide variety of opportunities to achieve, both within the school curriculum and through a varied extra-curricular programme. We have a split-site so children begin their journey with us at lower school then transfer to upper school in year 3.
Children move regularly between sites for things such as assemblies, school council meetings and special events. Our older children support our younger children as lunchtime playleaders, reading ambassadors and sports leaders. Our spacious grounds provide extensive sports fields and playgrounds as well as wildlife areas for outdoor learning.
Visits to our school are welcome and encouraged, and are always led by the children so you will have the opportunity to see for yourself how our pupils thrive. Take a look at some of our recent events . .
