We are a three-form entry primary school which opened in September 2015. In September 2016 we moved into our newly built premises on St James Road. By September 2021, we became an all through primary school. In June 2018 we were proud to be judged OUTSTANDING by Ofsted - a testament to the hard work and commitment of our staff.
