How to start your child at school

Thank you! 

Thank you so much for your kind donations for Children in Need and the school fund. Your generosity is much appreciated! Your donations mean that we are able to help vulnerable families both within our community and further afield. 

Driving and parking around school

We are continuing to see some poor driving and parking every day which puts our children at risk. Please do not park on the markings outside of school.

We are keen for children to walk and enjoy their journey to school. We know that many families live within a 10-minute walk from school, and we are keen to encourage as many families as possible to walk to school.

Thank you for keeping our families safe!

Year 5 - Aston Villa Multi-skills trip

Year 5 had a fantastic time as part of a brand-new project with Aston Villa FC, in which they took part in a variety of activities and sports. They even got to see the Premier League trophy!
