The remarkable achievements of our eco-committee also secured a £10,000 investment aimed at enhancing our positive influence on the local community and environment.
In addition to nurturing our pupils, we fervently believe in investing in our staff by fostering talent and cultivating leaders for the future.
The working environment is supported by committed, hardworking and supportive colleagues who are focused on improving outcomes for our children.
