Head Teacher's Message

Welcome from Headteacher Mrs Cartledge. The original building was replaced in 2016 with purpose-built accommodation, providing a great learning environment. The school has a large outdoor area with a forest school and MUGA. The aim is to develop each child’s abilities to the highest level of personal achievement, in partnership with parents and carers. The school emphasizes the whole child, with a vision of well-rounded, confident and responsible global citizens. Rules are to be ready, respectful and safe; classes are called Teams; two-character traits are focused on each half term. There is an exciting curriculum and trips using minibuses. For visits, contact the school office on 01244 259 666.
