We are a small school at the heart of our community. We have grown steadily in popularity as a first choice school for parents, attracted by a school environment where there is space for every child to grow, whatever their talents and abilities.
As the catchment school for the Army Foundation College Harrogate, we welcome children from the families of College staff who contribute to the richness of our school community. Between 15-20% of our children are from forces families and we are proud of the support we provide. For service families, our school provides a welcoming community that understands the unique challenges and opportunities of army life.
Throughout our school, we encourage children to be curious and creative. We have not been afraid to innovate to find new ways to enable our children to succeed and grow. In recent years we have build our curriculum around a love for reading, a passion for the outdoors and inspiring, immersive learning.
