At St Andrew's we value a strong link between home and school so we can enable our children to flourish.

Our school vision is to 'Let our light shine' in as many ways possible.

Our core Christian values: courage, kindness and respect are woven into the life of the school.

We encourage a strong community link between staff, parents, children,governors,the church and wider community so we can work in partnership. We want to prepare children for their 'life journey' so they can contribute to the world in which they live.

We also have a strong pupil voice so everyone's views are valued and contribute to the direction of the school.

In Year 1 children complete a phonic assessment at the end of the year . The link below will provide addtional information we hope you will find useful.
