We very much hope that the information contained within this site will help you to understand our school. We want everyone to feel part of our school family.

Education is a partnership between home and school and we place a great deal of emphasis on our partnership with parents. We believe that children learn best when home and school work together. When your child starts school, it is not where your job ends and ours begins. It is where our job begins and yours continues!

We have developed skill based ‘Curriculum’ lessons as we believe in involving our children in their learning and equipping them with the skills they will need to achieve economic well-being and life skills when they leave education. The curriculum is based on 4 key drivers that are personal to our school and reflect the social and educational needs of our local area. Our key drivers are the focus of every theme of work which is developed through school: resilience, enterprise, community and diversity. 

If you would like any more information about school, or to arrange a visit, please contact school. We look forward to meeting you.
