Welcome to our school.

A warm welcome to our website. We are delighted that you want to learn more about our school. Whether you are a family whose child is a pupil here, or someone wanting to find out how we run and what we do, I hope you find something of interest.

Our small school has a Christian ethos that permeates all aspects of our life. We seek to build love and respect to each other and God.` As an Eco-School,we believe in looking after the world and its resources. We encourage the children to grow in  self- confidence, while retaining awareness of diversity and the needs of others. We want everyone in our school to feel valued. We seek to achieve high standards of behaviour and achievement. Each child is God's unique creation and deserves the best care and teaching we can give them. Visitors often comment about the friendliness and peace they encounter . If you would like to experience this for yourself please make an appointment to visit us. ( 01787 374055). I would be happy to show you round, to talk and answer your questions.
