To complement this, we take pride in our co-curricular enrichment, which includes Yoga, mindfulness, sports and outdoor learning.

We work closely with parents and guardians to enhance aspirations for students and ensure that all children have the support they need to thrive at every stage of their school life.
Being located in an area of natural beauty allows our pupils to safely explore the world around them and grow in confidence and character as they do so.
