Headteacher:

Ms J. Fisher
I was appointed to this school in 1995 and this is my second headship. Since this time the school has seen significant change. We have moved from being a split site school to one where the staff work together as a cohesive team. We have excellent facilities and a stimulating learning environment. I believe in recognising the qualities and strengths of all and our mission statement: "Providing the highest educational standards within which adults and children can grow, learn and work together" is embedded in the life of our school.
