I'm delighted to extend a warm welcome to you among our school family. I, along with the entire faculty and board of governors at the school, are pleased with the accomplishments of our students. not only in terms of academic success but also in terms of their growth as young people. Visitors frequently remark on how welcoming the school is and how content the kids seem to be. We work hard to establish a supportive environment where kids can feel secure and thrive. The principles of our school and the growth of the whole kid are very important to us. As a result we have large numbers of children who take part in the 'Sing Thing' (choir), orchestra, various sports, the arts and also lead activities for younger pupils. This all leads to a school where all pupils are valued, have an opportunity to contribute to our community and all are supported to do their best. Above all, we place children's wellbeing at the heart of what we do so that they can flourish in our care. I hope you find our website informative and helpful and that it gives you a clear picture of how Governors and staff will ensure that your child makes the most of the varied opportunities which will be offered during their time at the school. But coming to see us is the greatest way to learn more about us. We always like meeting prospective parents and responding to their inquiries.
