can meet and the pupils can display the items they have made within school which will be available to purchase. We are
passionate to support our pupils and families from the local community to ensure the best outcomes.
Whilst the new building was being constructed the academy was located in a temporary modern school building on the

as a high quality, person centred organisation.
