We are a welcoming and caring school and have high aspirations for all our children. We welcome children aged between three and eleven with approximately 450 children on roll.
We are lucky to enjoy a large and well cared for site with excellent facilities including a nurturing pastoral room, a well-stocked library, a library garden, an enchanted garden and an exciting forest school.
We believe that every child is exceptional and has their own unique set of talents and our aim is to nurture and develop those talents while the child is at school and in readiness for their future.
We want our children to be empowered and to have a voice, and to that end the children have the opportunity to be part of school council and a pupil voice group, to lead clubs and to represent their classes as ambassadors.
