We are also graded as an outstanding church school. Read about this here!
'Love, care and respect drive the practice and policy of this school. These enable members of
all faiths to be included and know they are valued. Pupils have a great sense of togetherness
and unity, at the same time knowing each of them is unique' SIAS report May 2011

to achieve academically and personally. This results in excellent relationships and behaviour
because children know that they are safe in school and know to how approach an adult to
solve problems'. SIAS report May 2011

cultural development is a result of the ethos and harmony of the school'. SIAS report May 2011
