Love For Teaching
Our teachers are enthusiastic and strive to encourage a love of learning in our pupils.
We have a broad curriculum where a wide range of teaching styles are used to ensure that every child is given the opportunity to achieve his/her potential.
This is a Good School
“Pupils are involved in many activities in and beyond the local community. Visits to the nearby universities raise aspirations for pupils and get them to think about opportunities beyond school.
Working with people who are less fortunate helps pupils to understand the diversity of the community. In addition, it helps them to understand how unforeseen circumstances can affect the lives of others.
Pupils understand the importance of respecting others and appreciate having opportunities ‘to give something back’ to their community.
Many pupils are involved in the choir and orchestra and enjoy performing at a variety of venues”.
