Our children enjoy school and are very keen and enthusiastic leaners. Behaviour across the school is excellent and our parents are extremely supportive. The school is oversubscribed and we have approximately 140 pupils based in 5 classes. The school has benefitted from significant investment from the Diocese to expand and improve the school building and grounds. We have a very experienced and friendly team of staff and governors.
