Unapologetically ambitious for our children
A Family Feel
Children are part of a close-knit community where they truly belong. Staff know each child individually, building strong relationships that support both learning and wellbeing.
TAILORED LEARNING & MIXED-AGE CLASSES
Teachers often stay with pupils for two years, providing consistent, personalised support and challenge.
Mixed-age classrooms encourage collaboration older children model leadership and empathy, while younger ones learn confidence and curiosity. Every child progresses at their own pace, with opportunities to excel both academically and personally.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR
Every Child
Smaller settings mean every pupil has the chance to shine whether on in the classroom, in sports, assemblies, or leadership roles. Older pupils act as positive role models, mentoring younger children and building confidence, kindness, and community spirit.
