Other developments at the school include a revamped computer room where pupils can explore coding, online safety and digital communication; and the introduction of “Cool time” – “Choose our own learning” - where children can access a number of independent educational opportunities through the day, with teacher guidance.

"This isn’t just theory, we see the impact every day in how our children approach tasks, collaborate with their peers and talk about what they’re learning.”
