We strive to help every child to, “achieve great things” by inspiring them with rich experiences and equipping them with a love of learning. Our school has a strong Christian ethos built on our core Gospel values of: Trust, Forgiveness, Friendship, Generosity, Respect, Service, Courage and Encouragement. With close links with the parish church and our dedicated team of staff, governors and parents, we take pride in, “Learning and growing together in a love-filled Christian family.” We are a caring and inclusive school, where through quality first teaching and targeted support and interventions, all children are able to reach their potential.

Our school welcomes children of all abilities and strives to develop the full potential of all its children.  

Our SENCO is our Deputy Headteacher, Mrs Wilkinson and she works closely with children, staff, parents/carers and Governors to ensure that the needs of children on the SEND Register are met and ensure that they can ”achieve great things”.

Mrs Hegarty and Mrs Lyons are trained ELSAs. ELSAs are emotional literacy support assistants. They are teaching assistants who have had special training from educational psychologists to support the emotional development of children and young people in school. ELSAs have regular professional supervision from educational psychologists to help them in their work. They provide emotional support to those who need it. They aim to establish a warm, respectful relationship with a child and to provide a reflective space where children are able to share honestly their thoughts and feelings.

‘Achieving great things through learning and growing in a love filled Christian family’
