Walbottle Village and Beech Hill are places where children feel safe, happy and loved. Children are encouraged to attend regularly so that they can be supported to actively participate in all that we have on offer and so that they can progress well and reach their full potential.
Through our ambitious, well sequenced and knowledge rich curricula and programme of enrichment opportunities, we ensure that our children develop a love of learning and that they are well prepared for the next stage of learning when they leave us.
