It is our aim to promote a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment, which enables children to develop both socially, emotionally, morally and academically. We value home school partnerships and share the responsibility with parents for educating our pupils, encouraging regular communication and open dialogue.
The school has very strong community links, a supportive Governing Body and a flourishing P.T.A.. We are a member of the River Chelmer Primary Partnership and work in collaboration with the local primary schools that feed into Chelmer Valley High School.
