We want to harness the joy of childhood and make sure that we create a firm foundation for their future.
A Fantastic Curriculum
Our curriculum goes beyond the lessons we deliver. It is our school culture, environment and approach as well as the incredible learning experiences on offer.
Our dedicated staff ensure every child will access a rewarding school experience and will excel, regardless of need or barrier.
Close Collaboration
The primary years encompass a hugely formative period of your child’s life. As a parent or carer, you are the most important person in your child’s world and our collaboration with you is central to our highly nurturing approach.
Harnessing Individuality
In order to provide a well rounded experience, we provide opportunities for each child to pursue and develop their own interests. Sporting and creative opportunities are on offer and ensure that we are delivering a pathway for each child to express their unique interests.
We are a Trauma Informed School
We are committed to delivering a Trauma Informed approach to ensure that all our children develop positive mental health and resilience, enabling them to fully engage in life and learning.
Our Relationship Policy drives all of our interactions and we invest in a highly skilled team, including our Family Support Advisor.
