Teaching Personnel are currently working with a large 'Outstanding' Primary School and the Headteacher is seeking additional support for one of their Year 5 pupils.

Within a quarter of a mile of junction 7 of the M65 motorway and close by rail and bus links, it is easily accessible.

The school previously has been in the top 20% nationally in terms of achievement.

The behaviour in school is excellent and the pupils are polite, well mannered and welcoming, exclusions are unheard of. Teaching Assistants enjoy coming into school because behaviour is exemplary and attendance is good, in addition the support from senior leaders is constant and evident. The school was described by one parent as an 'asset to its community'.
