The school is one that prides itself on its inclusivity and diversity, with both teachers and pupils offering a welcoming environment for every member of its family.
Under the leadership of headteacher, Mrs Jayne Bayliss, and Deputy Headteacher, Mr Matt Brazier, the school provides industry-leading examples of warm welcomes, learning, and experiences.
'Diversity and inclusivity'
Mr Brazier described his school as one of 'diversity and inclusivity', and we couldn't agree more.
The school's hallways show a range of races, religions and a wide range of backgrounds, but what's more is that everyone, no matter their history, is welcomed with open arms.
Mr Brazier said: "We have around 446 pupils and Nursery through to Year 6. Our school community is diverse and inclusive, and we are very proud of the welcoming environment we have created.
"Visitors often comment on how polite and well-mannered our pupils are and how bright and exciting the school feels when you walk through the doors."
'A school where everyone matters'
