Explore Our Exciting Classes

As a single-form entry school, we believe we are the perfect size for our learners – small enough for everyone to get to know each other but big enough to grow with our children and get them ready for the next phase of their education.  We have seven classes that support children through each stage of their primary education, from Early Years to Year 6.  Each class is led by a dedicated teacher and supported by skilled teaching assistants, providing a nurturing environment where children feel safe, inspired, and ready to learn. We follow a broad and balanced curriculum, tailored to meet the developmental needs of each age group. As children progress through the school, they build on their knowledge, skills, and confidence, preparing them for the next stage of their learning journey.

Why Choose Us?

OFSTED

Our most recent OFSTED inspection was in November 2022
"Pupils offer a warm welcome to their school. They are proud and happy to be at the heart of this close knit learning community. Relationships between staff and families are warm, respectful and supportive. Leaders have high expectations for behaviour. Pupils listen well and are keen to engage with the views of others. Pupils treat each other with kindness. They are confident that should any incidents of bullying happen, staff would deal with them effectively. Pupils glow with excitement when describing their link with a school in The Gambia. They have raised funds to pay for new flooring and sports equipment in the Gambian school. They share letters and video messages with their friends and love hearing about life in The Gambia. Pupils say they push themselves out of their comfort zone while flourishing at residential trips in Y ears 5 and 6. Pupils value th e annual competition to design and build a go-kart to race against other schools. Through the strong local sports partnership, girls and boys represent the school at swimming, netball, football, cricket and athletics events. Attendance is very high at clubs, including gymnastics before school. Pupils also enjoy wider opportunities such as sewing, gardening, yoga, board games and junk modelling."
