We are a friendly, happy school that enables children to thrive and be the best they can be. Our children are at the heart of everything we do. We have a long tradition of being an exceptionally welcoming place with a real family feel and strong values, a place where everyone feels part of the family and everyone feels proud to belong.
We aim to ensure that every child in our care reaches their full potential, both inside and outside of the classroom, that they develop a love of learning and can explore the world around them in a caring, engaging and exciting way. We want to give them the courage to challenge themselves and be confident in who they are.
Our website aims to give you a taster of our school and we hope that you find the information you are looking for. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or to make an appointment to come and visit to see what makes our lovely school so special. Fabulous day had by Year 3 at the Grosvenor Museum in Chester. Roman soldiers in the making
