At Albion we encourage our children to celebrate each other, both day to day in the classroom, and through regular achievement assemblies. We are also proud to run the Pupil Headteacher initiative, where two children are elected by their peers to lead the school for the day, linking to the British Values aspect of our curriculum. Our happy and motivated children really want to learn and achieve. Our collaborative and hard-working staff team are committed to providing the best opportunities for them.
