Curriculum
Our ethos encourages a real sense of community and the family nature of the school means that children can be themselves in a safe and accepting environment where pupils and staff work together.
A sense of community is a key feature of the school. Parents are encouraged to be involved and opportunities for staff, pupils and parents to work together and to pray together help underpin our ethos and form our curriculum.

Home Educators and Flexible-Time Educators
The school is happy to work with Home Educators and pupils with outside school specialisms and to allow a measure of Home Education where it can be demonstrated that the education being provided is effective, supervised appropriately and follows Safeguarding procedures. This is a feature of the school and reflects its ethos, values and aims.
Any pupil attending the school, even under this agreement is included on the School Admissions Register and entered as being so in our annual returns to the DfE.
All agreements will be for a fixed time-scale and reviewed at the end of each Key Stage.
