Accreditations

AND	To be recognised as an Outstanding School means that we “provide exceptionally well for all our pupils’ needs.”
	We were awarded the Leading Aspect Award because of our commitment to training others to teach in an engaging and relevant way.
	Only a small percentage of schools achieve this coveted award for outstanding arts provision. We have ongoing partnerships with artists and we support other schools with their curriculum development.
	We believe strongly in the value of outdoor learning and caring for our beautiful school grounds. We are one of a small percentage of schools to gain this award in recognition of our commitment to the environment. Examples of our work include a market garden, weekly outdoor learning and creating animal habitats. Next year we are working to improve the school grounds so that the local wildlife will return after the building work is complete.

Next year we hope to run a community choir with parents and friends joining children and staff.
