We strongly believe that children are at the heart of all we do. The starting point for our teaching and plans is based on the children's needs, questions and interests. Our children help drive our curriculum.
We have five Curriculum Drivers which are derived from ensuring our children leave us at the end of year 6 as happy, resilient, confident, respectful, independent individuals who also have a high standard of achievement and attainment.
If you would like a paper copy of any information found on our school website, please speak to the school office who will provide this free of charge. Our staff, children, parents and governors are extremely proud of our school. Come and see our wonderful school in action, call Mrs Whitfield to make an appointment on 01257 462968 or email .
