Dear parents


The purpose of this website is to ask for your support and for you to complete our survey. A group of likeminded parents are in the process of applying to set up a new primary school in the local area.  As part of this process the Government requires us to survey parents in and around the local area to get their opinion about what we are trying to achieve, here’s where we need your help:


We are proposing a school:


  1. •Which focuses on helping your child to succeed and to leave primary school with an excellent academic record

  2. •Where your child is taught in year groups no bigger than 15 pupils

  3. •Which uses technology innovatively (iPads for every child)

  4. •Where you can meet your childs teacher at least once every 2 weeks

  5. •That supports working parents by being there for your child from 07.30 to 18.00

  6. •Where you can learn alongside your child

  7. •That helps your child learn real life skills

  8. •Gets your child physically active every day and promotes team sports

  9. •Which values your childs sense of respect, kindness, curiosity and creativity.


This school would also:


  1. •Follow the National Curriculum whilst making reading, writing, maths and science major priorities

  2. •Be rigorously Ofsted inspected and strive for “outstanding” status every time

  3. •Prepare your child to excel in SAT tests


So, if you think that your local area needs a school which has the ethos and values as described above then please complete our survey so that we can make this school a reality.


Thank you for your help
