Our outstanding committed teaching staff plan and delver challenging and engaging lessons to provide every opportunity to achieve the very best grades possible. Outside of the classroom there is a large amount of extra-curricular activities, from sport, music, drama, science and DT there are opportunities for everyone to experience learning and enrichment outside of the classroom. Please enjoy the final term of year 6 and we very much look forward to seeing you in September.
