We aim to provide an excellent all round education for young children in a well resourced setting, catering for the needs of all our children and supporting their families. We work in partnership with parents in their role as carers and educators. To further support families we have on site breakfast and after school clubs, as well as a lunch club for Nursery aged children.
Further activities for children and families are planned in conjunction with the Hitchin Partnership of schools, of which the school is a member. The school premises are bright and spacious, and we constantly strive to update the facilities available to the children. If you would like to visit our school, please telephone the school office to make an appointment.
We look forward to meeting or hearing from you soon.
