The school is part of a federation with West Leigh Infant School, which was established in April 2013.

The school encourages pupils to appreciate diversity and develop respect for different faiths and cultures, preparing them for life in modern Britain.

Support for students includes a focus on mental health and well-being, as well as provisions for those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Parents are encouraged to engage with the school through various channels, including the school’s website and direct contact with the administration for admission inquiries and other queries.
