Ethos, Visions and values | William Barcroft

ABOUT OUR SCHOOL

We are situated in Cleethorpes close to the busy seaside resort. Our school is 18 years old and has, over the past two years been fully redeveloped and redecorated ensuring that the environment both inside and outside of school empowers learning and enjoyment.

We place a very high emphasis on pastoral care and this has ensured that attendance rates have risen sharply and that children and parents now feel secure and welcome in their school.

Results at the end of Year six and year on year have risen over the past two year and rates of progress are improving constantly with the help of our well developed thematic curriculum and extensive extended activities program.
