Our Vision…

Our aim for every child as they leave our Infant School, is to foster a love of learning and make them ‘thirsty’ for their next age and stage of development; to provide every child with excellent early reading & maths knowledge and skills; to be articulate and confident to speak and share their ideas, and to instil a sense of local and global community, justice and equality in all.
