We
are a popular school and pupils come from outlying
towns and villages. We aim to be a true community
school, seeking as many links with the outside world
as possible. Friends are always welcome to visit and
we try to create as many opportunities as we can to
involve pupils with the wider community.
It is our aim to build a good relationship with local
residents and to ensure that we take time to listen
to the views of others.
We
feel it is important that local people are invited
to the school to work alongside staff and children
and in doing so enrich the life of the school. We
do serve a very wide community and over the course
of the year we have enjoyed the following links:
