We were impressed with the friendly atmosphere and the attention to musical education. It would be a great fit for our son.

On our Open Day visit, as parents we liked the fact there was an emphasis on education, lots of open space and a calm atmosphere. It was impressive to see different types of resources available in school to enhance children’s learning.

Like the vision of the Head.
