We believe that education changes lives, and our purpose is to ensure that every pupil leaves us with a secure body of knowledge, strong foundations in literacy and numeracy and the critical thinking skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Percy is inclusive, outward-looking school at the heart of our community. We cultivate a strong culture of belonging, where every child is known, valued and supported, and where diversity is celebrated as a strength.

Through high expectations and exceptional teaching, we develop resilient learners who understand that challenge, effort and perseverance are essential to success.
