Our curriculum is carefully designed with the children’s specific needs and interests in mind. It is built on the firm foundations of providing our children with excellent English and Maths skills. As a school, we also seek to expand our pupils’ current reality by broadening their horizons, enabling them to realise that there is a wider world out there and encouraging them to be aspirational.

Visitors to the school often comment on the friendly and welcoming environment that characterises our community.
