It provides Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) education for children in Reception classes.
The Headteacher has high expectations and wants all the children to develop to their full potential. This means providing exciting, inclusive lessons so they make the best progress they can in their studies as well as providing guidance and support, so they can develop as happy, well-balanced individuals who can make the right decisions for themselves.
When walking around the school it was obvious that there is a warm and friendly atmosphere. The wealth of visits out of school, after school clubs and visitors into school all add to the enriched curriculum they offer and help pupils to make the most of their learning.
