We are a team who aim high:

Our Faith

As a Church School, the love of Jesus Christ is our foundation which we hope will be evident to all who pass through our doors. We hope that it will guide, not only the religious aspects of the curriculum but will also be a firm foundation for the whole life of our school.

Pupil Groups

Our Vision in Child Speak developed by the School Council

We like our school; it gives us new ways to learn in an exciting, happy and safe place.

We like to learn new things even if they are a bit different.

When we do things, we try to do them as best we can, working as part of a team.

We try hard to present our best work. We are helped to find out answers and guided in the right direction.

We respect the religions of other cultures and have friends in other countries.

We try to do our best everywhere we go, not just at school.
