Our school was built in 1932, but when you look inside, it is very different to back then! All of our classrooms and facilities have been built to the highest standards, they bring together both form and function and are bright, airy and spacious. We have a large grassed field, a large playground and an astro-turf pitch.
We are also proud to have a play area dedicated to our Foundation Stage children and an enclosed courtyard too. All the classrooms have modern interactive whiteboards and computers for the children to carry out follow-up work and research. Simply make an appointment and we'll be delighted to show you around!
