I am thrilled to be working with everyone in our community, and look forward to seeing us all triumph with perseverance.

In April 2022 we moved into a brand new, purpose-built School building. The new Free School offers extensive facilities including specialist science labs, well-equipped art and design and technology rooms in a bright and spacious building, as well as an indoor sports hall and an outdoor multi use games area. Our new building, varied curriculum and celebration of individuality allows us to take PRIDE in all that we do.

We hope that you find our career site useful, but I encourage you to visit us to experience our culture; please contact the school office and we will be delighted to show you around our school.
