We are a one form entry school in Uckfield, set in extensive grounds. Our school is very much a family and creates a welcoming, caring and safe environment for our children. In an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect, each member is valued. We recognise that all children are unique and so we offer appropriate support and challenge.
All our children are encouraged to reach their potential, to celebrate their successes, while becoming confident and independent individuals. We want all members of our school community to Let their Light Shine. Our school is proud of its strong community. We value our partnership with parents and the wider community.
Parents play a crucial role as an integral part of our school community and we appreciate their involvement in the life and the work of the school.
