The curriculum helps them engage with their natural world and to link up with the organisations that work to understand and protect our marine environment.

“We exist as a Trust to give children a better start in life, support all of our staff and schools to develop and teach children about caring for others and our fragile world.”
"Our boy started school at Preston this year and what can I say, the school is fantastic! As our first child going to school we were naturally a little anxious but everyone at the school has made us and our son feel so welcome! I would highly recommend."
"I had such a lovely and positive experience! The staff members were very friendly and helpful, they gave up a lot of their time to speak with me and gave me lots of useful information. This was really appreciated and meant we could speak to ensure that we have a good action plan in place."
“There are great opportunities for staff to develop and grow, and we have an innovative approach to appraisal that increases staff ownership.”
"There's a supportive and caring atmosphere. Senior leaders are aware of staff and pupil wellbeing and always consider ways this can be improved. I feel listened to."
