WELCOME TO OUR ACADEMY
Every child is an individual. So we treat them that way. We work closely with you – their parents and carers – to make sure that each and every one of the pupils that joins our three-form-entry Academy succeeds.
We encourage our pupils to be responsible members of the school community, respecting others and constantly demonstrating our Academy values of care, respect, independence, success and perseverance.
We think it works, come and see if you agree

HIGH QUALITY TEACHING = ENTHUSIASTIC LEARNERS
We believe in placing a strong emphasis on the key skills of reading, writing and maths. We take part in national learning programmes such as White Rose for maths and Sounds-Write for phonics: tried-and-tested systems that give children firm foundations to their knowledge.
Our high-quality teaching encourages children to think and behave creatively. How? Through problem solving and working through challenges; through an exciting curriculum; and high aspirations. And we create many memorable learning experiences both on trips outside the classroom and by inviting visitors in.
AN ACADEMY AT THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY
We celebrate diversity and the richness it brings to school life. We embrace every child’s unique qualities and encourage them to embrace each others’. That way, all our pupils learn to value the wonderful, diverse world we live in.
Our teachers and support staff are well trained to support learners with a wide range of additional needs and first languages.
But we don't do it alone. We believe close links between home and school are important. So we involve you every step of the way, and regularly invite you into school to celebrate your child's achievements.
OUR NURTURING WAYS HELP CHILDREN THRIVE
Our Academy provides a safe environment where children feel happy and confident to be themselves. Their needs and their views are listened to, so they feel valued and they thrive.
When they leave us to move on to junior schools, they not only have all the skills they need to become lifelong learners, they are also confident, resilient individuals, rightly proud of who they are.
WE ARE A FAMILY OF SCHOOLS
The University of Brighton Academies Trust is a family of infant, primary and secondary schools based in Sussex.
Working Together, Delivering Excellence, Achieving Ambitions, and Nurturing Potential are the values that guide us. We support each other, sharing insights and best practice so that we never stop improving.
Our mission is to inspire our children and staff to flourish and achieve their best. It is important to us that we positively impact our communities and that pupils understand the role they can play in the wider world.
We aim to create a vibrant, inclusive community, transforming lives and broadening horizons through excellent teaching and learning.
