Our children relish new challenges and tackle new concepts with determination and perseverance. Philosophy is used to enhance thinking skills, generate active discussion and debate, developing an understanding of moral and British Values and each other.

We are developing our forest area, learning how to grow lots of vegetables as well as supporting the local wildlife with the pond, bug hotel and bird feeders. Children also look after and support the school goats, Toddie and Bertie, as well our school dog, Ron!
We fully support the unique qualities of every individual here and support children in goals that they set for themselves. Our planning is tailored to push individuals to their next level in learning and continuous monitoring of progress ensures all teachers are clear on children’s needs.
As well as ensuring children’s English and Maths skills are prioritised, we have a strong Arts curriculum, celebrating creativity through topic-based learning. All topics are question led to encourage further interest and intrigue and lead the basis of a very specifically developed curriculum.
