Services
Primary School Education
We provide comprehensive education for children aged 4-11, following the National Curriculum with a Catholic ethos. Our teachers deliver structured lessons in small steps to ensure all pupils, including those with SEND, achieve their potential. The school day begins with a soft start at 8:30am to prepare children for learning.
Catholic Faith Development
Rooted in Catholic values, our curriculum nurtures spiritual growth and social responsibility. Through the Building the Kingdom programme, pupils learn about equality, respect, and environmental stewardship while developing their understanding of the Catholic faith and its teachings.
Special Educational Needs Support
Our experienced SENCO provides tailored support for pupils with special educational needs. Individual education plans are regularly reviewed, and parents receive ongoing communication about their child's progress and development within our inclusive school community.
Forest School Program
This hands-on environmental education programme develops children's confidence and teamwork skills. Through regular outdoor activities in natural settings, pupils learn about ecology, sustainability, and risk management while connecting with nature.
After-School Clubs
We offer a range of extracurricular activities extending learning beyond the classroom. These clubs provide opportunities for pupils to explore new interests, develop skills, and build friendships in a supervised, supportive environment after regular school hours.
