Our village school was built in 1906, and added to in 2011 to provide a welcoming, happy and safe environment in which our children thrive. We are a one form entry school, with the ability to accommodate 210 pupils from the village and further afield. As well as seven classrooms and hall, we also have a dedicated area for our ICT suite and a well-stocked library.
There is also an art room which our pupils use regularly.
