About us

On 1st October 2014 we were proud to become a member of Cidari, Blackburn Diocese’s Multi-Academy Trust.

Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.


As a Cidari Church of England Academy, graded “OUTSTANDING” in our recent SIAMS Inspection, we strive to help every child to, “Achieve great things” by inspiring them with rich experiences and equipping them with a love of learning. Our school has a strong Christian ethos built on our core Gospel values of: Trust, Forgiveness, Friendship, Generosity, Respect, Service and Courage. With close links with the parish church and our dedicated team of staff, governors and parents, we take pride in, “Learning and growing together in a love-filled Christian family.”

We aim to ensure:

  • High academic standards and improve school performance
  • Raised community aspirations
  • An inclusive and welcoming environment for those of all faiths or of none
  • An open Christian ethos within whose values all can achieve their full potential
  • Inspirational teaching
