Our ethos is one of mutual respect and positive values for life-long learning. We are part of The Compass Partnership MAT; an innovative and forward-thinking group of schools comprising of Alderwood, Boxgrove, Cann Hall, Deansfield, Halstow, Horn Park, John Ray Junior, Kidbrooke Park, Notley Green, Shalford, South Rise, Willow Dene schools and Wingfield.
