Achievements
Teaching School
This year our academy was designated as one of only 100 Teaching Schools in the entire country, only 35 of whom are primary schools or academies. This means that we are able to train our own teachers and offer high quality continued professional development to teachers and support staff across the county. For further information on our Teaching School status, see seperate page on our website.
