In 2016 we chose to convert to academy status and since December 2016 we have been part of the Trust family of schools alongside Manor CE Academy and Poppleton Ousebank Primary School.

From September 2017 Shipton Preschool and Toddlers have also been based on site and in April 2019 this became our school Nursery, providing education and care for children aged 2 years and above.

Within our school we actively work to encourage the acorn to be the oak God means them to be within an inclusive and supportive school family. As well as helping our children to grow in their knowledge and skills, we work to develop them as individuals through our strong pastoral work in well-being so our school community is ‘rooted and grounded in love’ (Ephesians 3:17).

Our aim is to keep growing a strong community based on love and care for each other, to support children's development as learners and as young people.
