Report
This is purly based on the visit last month alone, as my child is not at the school. But I was very impressed with the behaviour of the children, the teachers the facilities and the clear passion that the head teacher had for the school and pupils, she even knew all the children by name. I would to pick this school as my 1st choice but it is too far... but the speech and Lang provision, which is what drew me to the school was brilliant I wish there was a provision like that close to home. Large building considering its 1 class intake.
