At the heart of our school is Wild School – where learning comes alive through our connection with the natural world. This unique approach inspires our children to explore, discover, and develop a deep sense of wonder that fuels their education.
Through high-quality teaching and our current, responsive curriculum, we create meaningful experiences that stretch far beyond the classroom. Every child is encouraged to think globally while acting locally, understanding how they can make a real difference in their community and the wider world.
We believe every learner faces challenges, and we’re committed to building the qualities needed to overcome them. By developing independence, resilience, curiosity, and a positive attitude, alongside our commitment to excellence, we prepare every child to be Ready to Fly.
Our ethos is completely child-centred, delivering a curriculum that puts our pupils’ needs first. Underpinning everything that happens in school are 5 key values/pillars, preparing every child to succeed in and contribute to the modern world. These are:
