We hold is a strong belief that all members of our school community are unique and have diverse gifts and talents which deserve to be nurtured and celebrated. Collectively, we work to ensure all feel valued, develop a positive sense of self-worth and a realisation that all can aspire to fulfil their dreams and ambitions. We believe that it is important that children are encouraged to widen their vision and expectations and so, out of classroom visits and experiences play a key role in our school, helping to ensure that the children leave school with happy memories of every school day.

The school caters for children from 2 - 11 years. There are currently 245 pupils on the school roll including part-time pupils in Lower Foundation Stage. Many of our children speak English as an Additional Language. We work closely with various groups to enhance provision for children.
