Primary Education
We provide comprehensive primary education for children aged 4-11 through mixed-age class teaching. Our curriculum follows national standards while incorporating Christian values and enquiry-led learning. With small class sizes, we deliver tailored instruction in literacy, numeracy, and creative subjects, ensuring each child progresses at their optimal pace.
Christian Distinctiveness
Our Christian ethos shapes daily learning through PRIDE values (Positive Attitude, Respect, Individuality, Determination, Excellence). We integrate biblical teachings with character development, holding regular collective worship sessions and maintaining strong ties with Pendock Cross church for seasonal celebrations and community events.
Forest School Activities
We offer regular outdoor education sessions across our grounds and Jubilee Wood. These hands-on experiences develop self-confidence, teamwork, and environmental awareness. Children engage in practical activities that complement classroom learning while building resilience and appreciation for nature through structured Forest School programmes.
