“Children are not a set of statistics based on test and exam results. They are individuals with a diverse range of skills and talents. As a school we endeavour to nurture and develop these talents and continually celebrate achievements both in and out of school.

During Shine week each class will be performing their own story which they have written especially for this event. The performances will take place in different parts of the grounds most appropriate to their story. At the end of the week we will be holding our usual Achievers' Assembly when we will celebrate the wealth of young talent we have in our school.”
