We aim for excellence in all that we do and encourage our pupils to achieve their full potential. We work in partnership with parents to celebrate the uniqueness of every child and embrace the individual gifts and talents of all of those in our school community. We are an inclusive school and we welcome families of all faiths, or no faith at all.

    Year 5 have been exploring air resistance by creating parachutes and testing how the size and surface area affect how slowly they fall!

The bigger the parachute, the more air it catches, slowing it down.

    Golden hour vibes and sizzling grills! The sun beamed down on us at last night's welcome BBQ, creating the perfect setting to support this amazing community. A huge thank you to all the families who came out and made it a night to remember. The burgers and sausages were grilled to perfection, but it's the company that made it truly special. Thank you to SWOYSA and the teachers for their hard work and commitment. #CommunityVibes #WelcomeBBQ #GoodTimes #SunsetGrill

"There are wonderful benefits of a small school. Everything is more personal. Parents and children are greeted daily and everyone knows everyone’s name. The school is a friendly and caring environment for the children to learn in. Parents feel confident that their children are happy and we feel that we can take concerns to the teacher directly."
