About the school
“Visitors constantly tell us how polite, thoughtful and well-behaved the children are, displaying respect for others wherever they go. The warm and friendly ethos of the school is evident in the relationships between the children and between the staff and the children.”
Established school - open since before 2024. Became an academy in April 2024, continuing the school that was already there.
