iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Our experience with our youngest starting reception has been exceptional. The support from both teachers is incredibly professional yet still personal. A wonderful school with hardworking, caring staff. Thank you for all you do. Staff are always so welcoming and friendly. The whole school has a warm and friendly atmosphere and there is a real sense of community .
My child is always happy to go to school and feels like she has a good relationship with the adults in the school. She feels able to voice any concerns she has. From our latest Parent Survey – Autumn 2025 Our experience with our youngest starting reception has been exceptional.
