We offer a secure and caring environment. We aim for the children''s learning experiences to be engaging, creative and thought provoking. We believe every child deserves excellent teaching and curriculum provision that allows for them to grow in confidence and independence.

As a professional and dedicated staff team we track the progress of each child and intervene to target additional support to ensure our high standards of progress and behaviour are maintained. We work in partnership with parents and the wider community for success.
