The Local Governing Body have been delighted to witness the school’s progress in recent years, a reflection of the dedicated staff, who provide a stimulating and vibrant learning environment for all children. Everyone in our school community works tirelessly to ensure that every child 'lifts their eyes to the hills' and reaches their full potential.
