• We have small classes, so our teachers know the children really well. In fact we are just like one big, happy family!
• We are proud of our test results, but also our broad curriculum too, especially our music, PE and art
• We have an After School Club, run by school, on site
• We have a ‘future forest’ where exciting outdoor learning takes place
• We are proud of our lovely old building (built in 1872) and all the history it holds
• Situated in the heart of the community, we strongly value our links with the local Church and the wider community
• Our positive school vision, values and aims are at the heart of all we do

We currently have places available in some year groups, including Reception.  If you would like find out more about our fantastic school please contact us.

Will your child start reception in September 2025?

You should apply for your child to start primary or infant school in the school year your child turns 4 so if your child is 4 (or will have their 4th birthday by the end of August) it is time to think about applying for a place in Reception!

For entry in the September 2025 school year, children will have been born between 1st September 2020 and 31st August 2021. Please do get in touch if you would like to have a tour and find out more about us!
