Yorkshire Endeavour Academy Trust is a unique and exciting partnership that was formed in 2018 by five primary schools that have a long and successful track record of collaborative working. Each with significant expertise in supporting schools. What is it like to attend this school? This is a very welcoming school with a friendly atmosphere.
The small pupil numbers encourage a family feel, where pupils from Reception to Year 6 happily learn, play, eat and celebrate together. All pupils can identify trusted adults within school, including those in non-teaching roles, to whom they could turn to if they had any worries. Positive attitudes and kind behaviour are celebrated and awarded in weekly assemblies .
Behaviour is good and systems are in place to deal effectively with any minor issues raised.
