We welcome children aged 4 to 11, organised into seven single-age classes of 30 pupils. With 210 children on roll and places for 30 new pupils each year we are usually oversubscribed. We are proud of our longstanding partnership with Kavuka School in Kenya which broadens our pupils' global awareness and cultural understanding.
Health and wellbeing are central to school life — as a Gloucestershire Healthy Living and Learning School we promote healthy lifestyles and emotional wellbeing every day. Our Gold Sports Award reflects the wide range of sporting opportunities available so children can stay active discover talents and develop teamwork.
