Information about the school

We are a small federation, consisting of our Infant and Junior schools. We created our federation seven years ago in order to ensure consistently strong practice across the primary phase. As a federation, we pride ourselves on our strong community. We have positive relationships with parents and our children feel happy, safe and demonstrate a real willingness to learn.

While still two separate schools with our own identities, we share a governing body and the leadership team work very closely together on a shared vision. This enables us to provide our pupils with the best chance of success.

Children are at the heart of all of our decision-making and we are passionate about sharing our strong practice with the community. Visits to the school are highly encouraged – we would love you to see what makes us unique.

The school benefits from strong relationships with families and a deep understanding of the local community.

“The whole family is part of the school and not just the pupils. It’s a warm, welcoming environment for all. Happy to have my child in this school.” – Parent

“Pupils flourish at this inclusive and welcoming school.” - Ofsted
