What the school offers its staff

The two schools share a governing board and an Executive Headteacher. We have two strong leadership teams who work very closely together to share quality practice, plan exciting initiatives, support one another and provide outreach support to other schools.

The professional expertise and strong relationships we have fostered across our schools have directly impacted on the quality of learning and teaching that the children receive every day. Academic standards are high, and our expectations are too.

We know each one of our children are unique and the range of experiences we provide for them on their school journey helps them to find their own special talents and grow in confidence. Our curriculum is rooted in our Catholic faith with R.E. at its core. It is carefully sequenced and planned, blends academic spiritual and personal development for all our children and provides rich and exciting first hand experiences both in the classroom and through many enriching activities.
