Head Teacher's Message

We are immensely proud of our popular and successful Infant and Junior Schools which give the Blue Coat children the strong foundations they need to get their education off to a great start! At both schools, our highly skilled team of staff work hard to provide the highest quality of teaching provision as well as a wide range of engaging activities both during the day and after school. There are superb academic, creative, musical and sporting opportunities for all learners and the quality of the schools’ provision has been recognised by Ofsted and many other agencies. Across the Blue Coat Federation, we work in partnership with parents and we have high expectations of all our children. The strong family spirit, firmly based within this Christian environment, results in children showing respect and consideration and feeling proud to be a Blue Coat child.
