The school is proud to call itself ‘inclusive’ and aims to make provision for the needs of every individual child.
The school participates in many local community events such as the Colchester Fire Swim, Wivenhoe Open Gardens, and the choir sing regularly at the parish church on special occasions. The school is also hired out in the evenings to several local groups including the Colne Bank School of Dance.
