This academic year, we are a 5 class school, from Reception to Year 6 (mixed Year R/Year 1, Year 1/Year 2, Year 3/Year 4, Year 4/Year 5 classes).
We offer a rich and varied curriculum and pride ourselves on our inclusive approach for all children. As a church school and as an academy within The Blue Kite Trust, our Christian values underpin everything that we do.
