Welcome to Maple Cross JMI & Nursery, small in size but mighty in ambition. Our vision Reflect / Lead / Aspire permeates all aspects of school life. As you walk around the school you will see well-mannered and well-behaved children.
You will see an engaging, enriched curriculum supported by our state of the art infrastructure (visit our restaurant and dine in style or lose yourself in our outdoor natural play area), learning displays celebrating the children's learning journey and a learning environment. There are further details of our ethos on the school website.
At Maple Cross we strive for academic excellence in all areas of the curriculum through setting challenging, but ultimately achievable targets, for all our learners. With a personalised approach to education, we dare to think differently and do what is best for each of our learners and their families.
