We’re so proud to be part of Canonium Learning Trust, now named Trust of the Year at the National Tes Schools Awards 2025! 🏆

It’s an amazing achievement - especially for a small family of Essex primary schools going up against some big names nationally!

For our school, this award is about what really matters: making sure every child has the very best opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive. 🌟

It reflects the hard work, care, and dedication of staff, families, and communities right across the Trust - and it means an even brighter future for every child we teach every day. 💜
