Headteacher’s Welcome

We are a school that likes to celebrate success – at every level. The life of the school is driven by enthusiasm and a desire to achieve.

We aim to bring learning alive, making it exciting and stimulating. We want to give our children a thirst for learning that continues with them throughout their future school experiences and lives. An essential ingredient for this to happen is teamwork. We view education as a joint venture involving everyone- children, parents, staff, governors and the wider community.

We hope that we will be able to depend on your co-operation and support in this partnership to provide the best for every child.

John Ross (Headteacher)

Exciting News! Do you want to discover the world of your unborn baby? If you are an expecting mum between 32 and 34 weeks gestation and meet one of the following criteria: * The mother has an autism diagnosis. * The mother has another child with an autism diagnosis. * The baby’s father has an autism diagnosis. *No history of autism in the family We are inviting you to take part in our new study. What is the study about? We are exploring the ways in which we learn language even before birth. We will measure foetal heart rate and use 4D ultrasound technology to measure foetal movement response to different types of speech with infant with and without family history with autism. After the study, we will also ask you to complete a few questionnaires about your recent experiences with a range of emotions. This will help us to understand more about how much of our attention to language is likely driven by our genetics and how much of our development can be shaped by the things that we hear throughout pregnancy. The study will take 45-60 minutes to complete and requires one visit to Lancaster University’s Babylab. If you want to learn more about the study, please contact Betül: b.teksin@lancaster.ac.uk ...

This morning the Reception children went on a very exciting adventure - we went on a bear hunt! We travelled through wavy grass, a cold river, oozy mud, a dark forest and a whirling snowstorm until we eventually found a bear! We had lots of fun reciting ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt‘ by Michael Rosen as we searched our school grounds. ... See MoreSee Less
