Information about the school

We are a growing academy and very fortunate to have a new spacious, attractive and modern building. Inside, we have well resourced classrooms that foster challenging and independent learning, an inviting library that also houses a range of musical instruments, a studio for cooking, art and design and a large hall. Outside, we have an expansive field, MUGA, trim trail and areas for outdoor learning across the curriculum. The Early Years classes have their own outdoor areas allowing them to continue their learning and development in a safe, purposeful environment but also have access to all other areas as appropriate.

A broad and balanced curriculum is at the heart of an aspirational and successful academy and we enhance our curriculum provision through the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP). This is an inquiry based learning framework that fosters independent learners and posits personal success as essential for academic achievement, nurturing independent learners who continue to thrive.

This means we have access to an unprecedented wealth of experience, knowledge and expertise to support us in our determination for all pupils to be happy and successful.
