Our philosophy of care gives recognition for our children to have the right to privacy, choice, respect, dignity and independence as an important part of each day.

The atmosphere generally is relaxed, happy and homely.

The School has recently been awarded the Platinum Award for Healthy Eating and the catering staff have recently achieved Five Stars on the new ‘Scores on the Doors’ rating. The menu offers a vegetarian option. Staff are forward thinking when looking at the influence of diet on health.
