We are a thriving, three form entry primary school, offering places from Nursery through to Year 6. Our motto is: PRIDE IN EXCELLENCE and our ethos is based on five themes: CARING, SHARING, LEARNING, LISTENING AND OURSELVES. We strive to ensure these extend throughout everything we do.
Over the last few years, we have grown from strength to strength. In December 2014, we were delighted to have OfSTED recognise us as a good school in all categories.
'This a good school. Pupils achieve well. The school keeps pupils safe exceptionally well.'
'The Early Years Foundation Stage provides a good start to children's education. Teaching excites children and the activities and resources create high levels of interest.'
We have high expectations of all our pupils. Our curriculum, centered on learning challenges, is based on the needs of our children and is designed to excite and motivate them in their learning. We have a very dedicated staff team and high expectations of standards in teaching and learning. Visitors always comment on the atmosphere in the school and how delightful and polite our children are. We expect children to work hard, but also to enjoy and achieve.
