Information for parents

Our vision will provide your children with educational facilities that are not only bang up to date but also look to the future. We want to create 21st century learning facilities.

We believe a 21st century school must have high standards of achievement, with each child fulfilling their own potential, motivated by inspiring buildings that are well designed and built to be suitable for at least the next 30 years. This means using more technology in the future, providing a wider curriculum which meets the needs of more children and meeting the special educational needs of pupils. Designs need to be flexible and adaptable for future changes and provide value for money.

Works will not start for some time, see timescales, so we have some time to make preparations and ensure any changes take place as smoothly as possible.
