Class Teacher

  Children liked the topic work and described learning as ‘fantastic’, ‘mindboggling’, ‘creative’ and ‘brilliant’ (several times!)    

The school is an exciting place to learn which is evident from the wide range of displays of work and high quality photographs of the children engaged in a huge range of activities around the school. (Parent’s Charter Gold report 2016)
