We offer you the opportunity to be creative within the class room and to work collabortively with our team of talented teachers and teaching assistants.

Our children achieve well but we also want them to remember their learning experience at our school with a smile and with laughter. We want them to leave effective learners and well-prepared for their future. We want to celebrate every child’s achievement whether it is in geography or grammar, music or mathematics; we want a teacher who feels it is a privilege to be able to do this.

  • Amazing children who are kind, courageous and curious
  • A community that helps each other and develops together
  • Supportive parents that want to help more!
  • A truly spectacular site with amazing potential for outdoor learning
  • Governors who understand the pressures of the curriculum and embrace new ideas
