Who's who
We are a one form entry primary school. Each class has a Learning Team which includes a teacher and Learning Support Assistant (LSAs). LSAs including Higher Level Teaching Assistants are also used throughout the key stages to support different aspects of learning including precision teaching and specific interventions.
We are a happy and caring team. We believe that our children need to feel listened to as well as challenged and excited by their learning.
We have an open door policy for all our families.
Our teaching staff are all employed across the federation, meaning that staff work together across the federation and may be based in either school or both when needed.
