A Unique learning environment…
Our Reggio Emilia inspired learning environment provides a calm and purposeful setting for our children. Our school building is amazing but we are continuing to develop the learning areas inside and out. We already have dedicated learning areas such as a Food Technology Room, Technology Zone for Computing and an Enchanted Wood library.
Emotional well-being is at the heart of everything we do…
We are a Thrive school, which means we are emotionally literate, promote mutual respect between adults and children and value what our children have to say. Through the use of Restorative Practices we are enabling self-regulation by pupils with good moral judgements. All our staff eat together with the children in a family-style dining environment every lunchtime to enjoy a healthy school meal.
Passionate about enrichment opportunity…
We offer Forest School to every child, seek out exciting visits and visitors, have an Artist in Residence and professional music tuition for all classes. Our developing curriculum is based on themes which inspire our learners.
Innovative professional opportunities…
Using current models of professional development and individual opportunities for growth, every member of our team is valued and encouraged to be an aspirational practitioner.
