About this employer
We are very proud of our successful school which continues to be judged as a good school by OFSTED. Our school is a one form entry primary which means we have up to 30 children in each class. However, we are very fortunate to have two specialist provisions for both children with moderate and server learning difficulties. This has resulted in all our children being well educated whatever their starting point.
