Since September there has been a new leadership team in place, who have driven school improvement forwards and continued to ensure there is excellent provision for all its pupils. We are a good school with a real commitment to our children, our staff and our community, and a focus on achieving the best that we can in all that we do, both inside the classroom and beyond. This post has arisen due to our growing intake and desire to provide education in single age classes.
