Primary Education
Our comprehensive primary education program follows the National Curriculum while incorporating innovative teaching methods. Students engage in enquiry-led learning through thematic topics that integrate multiple subjects. The curriculum emphasizes core skills in literacy and numeracy while fostering creativity through arts and technology. With two-form entry and experienced teaching teams, we ensure personalized attention and academic progression for children aged 4-11.
SEND Support
The school provides tailored support for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities through our dedicated Inclusion Team. Our approach combines specialist teaching with mainstream classroom integration, supported by individual learning plans and therapeutic resources. We maintain close partnerships with external agencies to ensure comprehensive care and implement specific strategies for children requiring additional support.
Forest School Program
Our Forest School initiative offers regular outdoor education sessions in natural environments. Children develop practical skills and environmental awareness through hands-on activities like shelter building, nature exploration, and team challenges. This program enhances personal development, risk assessment abilities, and connection with nature while aligning with curriculum objectives for science and physical education.

We offer diverse after-school enrichment programs covering sports, arts, technology, and academic support. These clubs extend learning beyond regular hours while providing supervised care until 17:30. Activities include sports training, creative arts workshops, coding classes, and homework assistance, catering to varied interests and supporting working families' schedules.
Nursery School
Our purpose-built nursery provides early childhood education for 3-4 year olds with both sessional and full-day options. The program focuses on foundational skills through play-based learning, supported by qualified early years specialists.
