Starting School in September 2020

If you have a child who is eligible to start school in September 2020 and you are in the process of choosing a preferred school for your child then please get in touch to arrange a visit. During a visit you will have the chance to look around the school with a member of the school leadership team and ask questions about our effective and established approach to learning.

As a parent living the local area I fully appreciate the range of factors involved in selecting a preferred school. Working closely with Lower schools and Head Teachers across the town I am confident you cannot make a 'bad' choice for your child's education in our town, however schools can operate very differently and as a parent or carer you are best placed to identify a school that will match the expectations you have for your child. That may or may not be us, but if a visit helps you decide then I would be very happy to welcome you into the school.
