School Information
We are an inclusive school who pride ourselves on promoting the best possible outcomes for all pupils. Our vision 'Excellence achieved through care, creativity and challenge' is at the heart of everything we do. Every child really does matter to us and we take the time to get to know each and every one within our school.
We are 2 schools (Nursery and Primary) which are federated under one Governing Body. We have a 104 place Nursery with an additional 24 two year old places, and a 2 form entry primary school. In addition, the federation runs projects alongside the Nursery. So To Speak2 works with Nursery, and funded2 year olds with Speech and Language delay and is partly funded by the National Lottery.
Both schools have been graded as good by OFSTED.
We have a higher than National number of children with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
