Our Forest School sessions are back — and the children couldn't be happier!
There is something special about learning outdoors: getting muddy, working together, solving problems, exploring nature and developing independence along the way.

As another school year comes to a close, we will soon say goodbye to our wonderful Year 6 pupils. It has been a privilege to watch them grow into confident, caring and capable young people. They have brought energy, kindness, laughter and determination to our school, and each of them leaves with memories, friendships and achievements to be proud of. Their assembly today was wonderful!
