Our teaching staff are highly effective and dedicated. "Teaching ensures that pupils of all abilities complete work that is challenging and stimulating. The curriculum is expertly planned and effectively develops learning across a wide range of subjects. It makes a strong contribution to pupils developing a broad and deep understanding of the world." OFSTED 2017.

Our school vision statement is ”INSPIRE, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE!" Therefore, we encourage the children to achieve their personal potential by developing a love of learning and a strong belief that we can all "grow our brains".  Children at the Firs make excellent academic progress in the time that they are with us and develop essential life skills. "The personal development of pupils ensures that they are exceptionally well prepared for life after ‘the Firs’,"  OFSTED 2017.

We greatly value the support that we have from our parents and encourage communication between home and school, in order that we can work together in the best interest of our pupils. We have been accredited with the Leading Parent Partnership Award on two occasions, in recognition of the very effective links we have developed with parents and carers.
