The Year 1 children visited Mudcute Farm yesterday and enjoyed seeing all of the animals.

It's essential children have a strong understanding of how to use technology. This is why all our pupils have weekly computing lessons from a specialist teacher, and access to over 480 Chromebooks, plus two fully equipped computing suites.
