A happy, safe and inclusive school at the heart of the community.
Lunchtime today saw some wild netball, with the netball club being dressed as animals in support of the M.S.P.C.A. As ever, the children tried their absolute best, showed wonderful sportsmanship, and enjoyed possibly the best game yet! Well done team!
