Did you see us in the Frampton Voice?

Thank you to the Frampton Voice for sharing our recent news (see article below). We are pleased with the way our quiet area is taking shape and look forward to using it more in the warmer months. This is designed as somewhere for any member of our school community to go to reflect and be peaceful. You will also see that our SATs results success was noted. All of our Year 6 children achieved the expected standard in reading and writing last year; 81% achieved this in maths. All measures were well above local and national averages. Well done to our amazing staff and children for all their hard work and effort.

You may have noticed our new reflection area at the front of school. Last year, our Year 6 children kindly donated the amazing planter and this week we saw the return of the refurbished bench which has been at the school since the Queen’s silver jubilee in 1977.
