They reflect the school's values of teamwork, kindness, curiosity, and creativity. As a result, pupils are happy and safe. They are proud of their school and attend regularly".



We currently have 305 children on roll. Our children and their needs are at the very heart of all our decisions, and have created a learning environment in which individuals can excel. Our facilities include an extensive outdoor area and we encourage the children to play outside every day in most weathers.
