Our school is at the hub of our local community. Our pupils support the life of our community as well as regularly welcoming visitors into school such as the local clergy and our MP. We are lucky to have many volunteers who come into school to read with our children.
We teach our children how to be good citizens, not just locally but globally: Below are just some of the community events we have enjoyed. See how busy we have been!
