Our buildings are surrounded by beautiful grounds including our play areas, school field, a woodland area, swimming pool which in themselves provide an exciting learning environment for the children. As a church school, we are part of the St. Alban's Diocese and we work together to share God's love with one another and our community.

Everyone who works here will strive to ensure that your child's educational, social, emotional, spiritual and physical needs are met, developed and celebrated as fully as possible.

From Early Years through to Year 6, we create rich learning experiences and a stimulating learning environment through our broad curriculum, whilst developing both a love of learning and a confidence that will equip children to take on new challenges in our ever-changing world.
