We are a joint Primary and Nursery School with exceptional grounds that include two playgrounds, a wildlife area with pond, a vast games’ field, international arboretum, amphitheatre, tunnel and mound, an adventure playground and an exciting and stimulating outdoor learning area for our youngest children. We believe in developing a child’s intellectual, creative, emotional, physical, spiritual and moral aspects of their personality. This takes place in a caring and supportive school that has strong links with the local community. Our school motto is “Inspiring learning for life” and we do this by nurturing lifelong learning, aspiring to outstanding levels of individual achievement and promoting opportunities for children to discover their talents. Our strong leadership team and continuous improvement approach was recognised by Ofsted in our last inspection where we were rated as ‘Good’ in all aspects.
