Welcome to the new website for our new school. On 1st April 2013 we became one of the first primary academies in Coventry as part of the Diocese of Coventry Multi Academy Trust. Of course some things are new, like our name and our logo. We have more freedom and choice about where we get our support services from and how we organise learning.
However, what hasn't changed is the commitment that everyone associated with the school has to ensure that 'every child matters, every day'. We work closely with families to encourage all children to excel in all that they do and to aim to provide a happy and caring Christian environment in which young minds can thrive.
The best way to learn about any school is to see it in action. If you would like to make a visit you will be most welcome .
