No two days are the same. Every day is a new and exciting experience which I am proud to be a part of. We offer a creative curriculum where children enjoy opportunities to have a fullness of life. Some of these opportunities include trips to London, a Year 6 residential, swimming lessons, frequent visits from the school dog, author visits, pancake flips and much more.
