Reception

Welcome

Everything we do, is designed to create a school where your child will flourish: academically, socially and personally. We believe in a curriculum which goes beyond the content of the national offer to enrich their learning, widen their experiences and strengthen their character.

The way we do this is to plan meaningful opportunities for the children to apply their learning in different contexts both in and out of school.
