Achieving Excellence Together in a Caring Community
We are a happy, caring and inclusive school for children aged from 3 to 11. We have high expectations so that all our children achieve excellence during their time with us; they thrive academically and socially. We want them to leave us at the end of year 6 knowing that they can achieve their dreams and make a difference in the world.

Fantastic training yesterday, on the importance of communication and relationships in bringing out the best in all our children. We can’t wait to see them back at school today! And, as part of our music development, we all learnt to play the ukulele! https://t.co/a9VkFKwCXc
