We believe that learning should be fun, that children should have a childhood enriched by the highest standard of education and that their school days should provide happy memories to last a lifetime. Families are warmly welcome to look around our lovely school. Please telephone the office to arrange a visit.
Nestled in the heart of Spondon village, Derby, our inclusive church school promotes an atmosphere where everyone is welcome. Where diversity is celebrated, and embraced through our rich curriculum and supported by the school community.
