iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).In building solid foundations for every unique individual and putting God's love at the centre of all we do, our children learn to embrace our diverse world. We encourage our children to learn universally in order to understand our heritage and roots as a village, town, region and nation.
Through strong community links, our children grow in compassion and understanding , promote justice and possess aspirations to make a positive difference. We offer an ambitious curriculum that ignites curiosity along with high personal expectations that fosters resilience and which enables them to flourish.
Our children are easily distinguished by the courage they show when making brave choices and understand the importance of becoming the very best versions of themselves. Our statement of intent demonstrates the core values we focus upon in our school. In addition to our Gospel values, children are encouraged to be the very best versions of themselves.
To achieve this, we ensure our pupils have a broad and balanced curriculum, built from solid starting points in pre-school and Early Years. This approach enables us to find the inner artist, historian, writer or athlete within our children.
