  We had a wonderful time grazing and colouring with our child. The treats were delicious. Thanks for organising the event.

• SIAMS

  The school’s deeply valued Methodist and Anglican heritage shapes a vision that radiates its biblical foundations and directs leaders’ actions. Reflective evaluations of the vision's effectiveness enable leaders to hone their decision-making resulting in flourishing for all. 

• OFSTED

  2024

  In early years, children settle quickly into school routines. They learn how to share and take turns. Children are prepared well for the demands of key stage 1.

• Grandparent

  Year 3

  It was very good to come into school into such a welcoming atmosphere, and a good change to talk to fathers and grandfather’s!

• OFSTED

  2024

  All pupils have opportunities to take part in a range of clubs and activities, such as sports, art and music. Pupils enjoy a wealth of opportunities to contribute to school life. For example, they develop their leadership skills through acting as school councillors and buddies for younger pupils. 

• Parent

  Year 2

  These events at school are enjoyable both for the children and families.

• SIAMS

  2024

  Impressive relationships throughout the school community reflect the vision to be a loving ‘school family’. This results in a culture of belonging where individuals are cherished, nurtured and celebrated. Sensitive and personalised support for vulnerable pupils, including those going through difficult times, leads to transformational outcomes.

• Grandparent

  Year 1

  What a lovely opportunity to spend time with my granddaughters in their school environment! Had a great time doing activities and eating cake! Thank you for organising it. (National Grandparents Day)
