Our children live locally to our school with many walking from the surrounding roads.

Our inclusive curriculum has been carefully designed to provide all children with a broad and balanced education, through which our pupils are given a wide variety of opportunities and experiences to grow and develop academically, physically, socially, morally and spiritually. This is complemented by a wide range of extra-curricular activities including sports, arts, music and well-being to support the children to flourish.
