We are a small, one-form entry, community school set in beautiful grounds in Finchley. We have a specialist autism provision on site and believe passionately in inclusion. We pride ourselves on being a friendly, welcoming school and encourage parental involvement and support. Our children are happy and love to come to school and learn.
They make excellent progress and become confident independent learners within a safe, secure and happy environment. In our last Ofsted visit May 2022 we were graded Outstanding in all areas. The inspector wrote 'Pupils thrive in this school, where they are happy and safe.
Pupils enjoy plentiful opportunities to learn and develop in a welcoming, inclusive environment surrounded by their friends and adults they trust.' Please call the office if you would like to visit the school for a Reception place in 2026.
