Our school is steeped in history. Founded by the Church of England it started as three separate schools in September 1860. In 2000 the Grade II listed building had a major building programme to add additional classrooms and facilities. We continue to invest in the school to maintain a high quality learning environment for our young people.
The school remains a Church of England school with close ties to St Mary's Church. The school is now maintained by the Local Authority. Our Christian ethos is based on the foundation of the three school values: Love , Courage and Forgiveness . Are you looking for your child to join our school?
