The school also has a 10 place, time-limited, Alternative Provision, dedicated to supporting previously excluded children back into mainstream education or specialist provision.

There are two classes in each year group so that our class sizes can be kept small and we all have one teacher and at least one teaching assistant in each room.

The grown-ups in our school, work very hard to make sure that ‘every child’ is given ‘every chance,’ ‘every day.’
