This website was created to offer you a flavour of our school, but it can't replace the chance to visit and meet the individuals who make it such a special place. We are a school that was established in September 2012 to meet the demand for more Primary phase spaces. Up until September 2018, when the school will have 420 students, we add an additional year group each year. Being a free school, we get financing directly from the government and enjoy a lot of liberties that we creatively utilise. We have created a curriculum that is adaptable to the needs of the twenty-first century and ready for today's global society. We expect the best performance levels from our employees and work hard to recognise and reward it. Our school day has been lengthened so that we can concentrate on the essential lessons during those hours and continue learning thereafter to meet the needs of our families. In order to maintain the abilities of our children, we offer an additional week of learning and teaching in the summer beyond the requirements of the core year. As your child's educators, we are both here to work with you.
