From the headteacher

"Each child is important to us, so we have an inclusive approach that supports all of our students. We believe that learning goes hand in hand with happiness and motivation. As a result, you will discover that our school is a vibrant and busy place where you are never quite sure what lies around the next corner. It may be that the classroom has been transformed into a moonscape complete with shuttle and moon buggy, perhaps the children are enjoying making a meal from home-grown vegetables, or you may stumble across children at Base Camp on Mount Everest." 

– Karen Brunt, Head Teacher

What the parents say

"We live in a society which is constantly evolving and revising approaches, and obviously the same happens with education. Fortunately, there are issues that we can be sure about on a long-term basis: the great advantages of a full command of English and the contrasted success of the British teaching methodology."

– Year 5 Dad

"I feel happy in general, my child is happy and that is the most important issue. We are very pleased with the teaching staff and my child is learning quite a lot."

– Year 1 Mum
