Our Classes We accept children from their 3rd birthday into our Nursery. Families receive funding from the term after the child turns 3 years old, but if we have availability, it is possible to pay for sessions before the funding is in place.
Our Nursery and Reception share our large Early Years Area, including our outside classroom, which gives a large area for children to explore all of the learning opportunities provided by the staff. The KS1 (Year 1 and Year 2) classrooms are in the Victorian part of the school. They benefit from large, airy classrooms and lots of space.
The KS2 (Years 3 - 6) are in the part of the school which was added in the 1960s. This part of the school was fully refurbished to provide bright, modern, classrooms. Each year group has a website page (see the links below), where parents and carers can find useful information, or just keep up to date with what is going on in their child's class.
