Nursery and Primary Phase

We are a new, all-through school, opening our doors to our first cohort of Year 7 students in September 2025. Our nursery and reception open in September 2026.

Our all-through provision allows children in our reception class to seamlessly journey with us all the way through to our sixth form, removing any difficult transition points and providing continuity in care.

We are non-selective, welcoming children of all faiths, social, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. We offer a broad, balanced, high-quality curriculum, with an emphasis on STEM provision.

We equip our young people with the knowledge, experiences, skills and attributes to ensure they are ready to live lives full of choice and opportunity when they leave our school.

As a partner school within JTMAT, our collaboration with other schools of all phases allows us to benefit from the best of collaborative working and demonstrates how excellence can be achieved when schools work together.
