"Learning today for a better tomorrow!" Welcome to our school career site which we hope you will find useful. There are approximately 300 students on roll at the school aged from 3 - 11 years old. Students behave well and are keen to do their best. Children make good progress and standards of attainment are steadily improving. We have high expectations of students and all the staff work hard to ensure that each child can achieve his or her full potential.

We want to work in partnership with parents and carers because we know that children will achieve much more when they receive high levels of support and encouragement from home. We hope that children and families will use this website together, not only to keep up-to date with the exciting things that are happening, but also so that children can talk about their learning at home. This really helps to consolidate children's learning because if they can explain something, then they are deepening their own understanding.
