We are home to over 220 children, from Nursery through to Year 6, and we focus on educating the whole child: academically, socially, and emotionally, so they are well-prepared for both their next stage of education and for life beyond school, in an ever-changing world.

We are proud to be a fully inclusive, wellbeing-focused PERMA-V school, where every child is welcomed, valued, and supported to thrive. Respect, resilience, and responsibility are nurtured alongside creativity, curiosity, and positive relationships, ensuring every child has the opportunity to flourish.
