We are an exceptional and beautiful one form entry, rural community Church of England school. We have a well resourced, spacious and modern building with vast grounds and excellent transport links. Our pupils are kind, motivated and excited learners with excellent behaviour. Our families support the school well and are keen to work with teachers at every opportunity. We have a fantastic PTA who raise significant funds for the school and a highly skilled and committed governing body, who are focused on staff wellbeing and high standards for all our pupils.

Our vision is based on the parable of the mustard seed.

           “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet 
            when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches” 
            (Matthew 13: 31-32).

Everyone at Platt is driven to support all children to grow and flourish through this vision into respectful and responsible young people with individual talents and passions deepened. Our children are confident and proud of their school and belonging to it. We believe education should not only equip children academically and emotionally but provide memories and shape our children to live life in all its fullness (John 10:10).

We value all our staff and our values of Care – Learn – Forgive are there for all of our community. Our wellbeing team regularly review pressure points and work with the Leadership Team to enable all to thrive and be their best.

Our school successfully completed a SIAMs inspection in July 2023 and an Ofsted inspection in October 2024, both with Good outcomes.
