We are a friendly and welcoming school, and pride ourselves on our family feel. While still being a small school, we are able to access great opportunities through combining with the other schools in the Trust. We hold Open Days and welcome visits for parents and children who are considering applying for a place at our school, as this is a great opportunity for you to see what we have to offer. We would really encourage you to visit and experience our happy and friendly environment and children for yourself, please [contact us](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/contact) to make an appointment. (Visits are not a compulsory part of the admissions process and will not affect decisions on whether a place can be offered at our school.). If you have any questions, please feel free to [contact us](https://www.richardcrosse.staffs.sch.uk/contact) to discuss further.
