Our school is in a lovely rural setting and has a mixture of modernized older buildings and newer additions. We have 4 well-equipped, spacious classrooms, a purpose-built library, an outdoor learning pod, cloakrooms, offices and staff room.
We are lucky to have an extensive outdoor area, including tarmac playgrounds, an early-years area, adventure playground, large field and a fantastic wildlife/forest schools area with its own small wood, pond and stream. We also make use of the adjacent Village Hall and community tennis court. The school is currently organised into 4 classes: EYFS/Key Stage 1 : ages 3 - 7.
Class 1 and Class 2 Years 3 and 4 : ages 7 - 9. Class 3 Years 5 and 6 : ages 9 - 11. Class 4
