I just wanted to extend a heartfelt thanks to you all for everything you’ve all done for the children and parents this last academic year. You’ve been an anchor when we’ve all really needed it and we’re so grateful as a family, that our daughter attends such a caring, resourceful and supportive school.
I also absolutely loved what you did for the year 6 pupils today. Have an absolutely amazing summer and see you in September!!

Breakfast and after school provision is a real strength of the school. The holiday club is also brilliant and good value. It is run by the school and not an external provider meaning they know the children well

My children loved attending this school and achieved well. The staff are great and really caring. One of the best things about it is the diversity and inclusive approach that it has. That's why I was so keen for my children to go there and I'm proud of their open-mindedness and their attitude towards the world. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the the school.

I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed being at your school coaching netball with the year 4 and what a great bunch of children. I also wanted to say how great your style of delivery of PE is to the children! The enthusiasm they show because of you and your assistant teacher was lovely to see! Your "I Love Laps" is genius and how they are so keen to do more is amazing. I see this because its happening whilst I am coaching netball. The set up of the grounds for sport is so clever and I never expected a layout of a running track around the whole area of the grounds almost! It was such a great atmosphere and I loved the music playing on some days too! It really made for a great environment to be in. I won't forget it!
Best wishes to you and your team!

I just wanted to contact you before the end of the school term as I ran a trip for your students to Hengistbury Head last week, with Mr Clark, Mrs Melbourne and Mrs Taylor and their teams of TA’s and parents. I am the education officer for the Urban Heaths Partnership (a funded heathland mitigation project) and work across the whole of BCP and Dorset Councils.
The trips had some incredibly challenging weather to deal with last week and I wanted to let you know how amazing all of the students were, working hard and embracing the challenges in a really positive and cheerful way. They were actively engaged throughout the day, resilient and caring with each other and really well mannered and respectful. That in itself is a joy.
However a real special mention must go out to your staff who worked so hard with me throughout the day and were incredibly enthusiastic. I come across a lot of teachers and support staff in my work and yours were collectively, a really fantastic bunch. I’d be really grateful if you could pass my thanks onto them,
