• Prioritise wellbeing and happiness
• Encourage a love for learning that lasts a lifetime
• Work in partnership with families and our local community
We are proud of our federated model which allows staff to collaborate across both schools, share best practice, and ensure a smooth and successful educational journey from Reception through to Year 6.
