Our core values are to create a school that enables children to: be successful, be healthy and happy, feel included, are nurtured and are enriched. We are ever on the lookout for new, dynamic and exciting ways to meet these values. In Year 5 we are lucky enough to have a Class Dog, Otis, who’s presence does just that

Our curriculum extends beyond the academic. It provides for learners' broader development, enabling them to develop and discover their interests and talents.
