Welcome to our school community and thank you for looking at our website. We are a popular, village school set in beautiful countryside and surrounded by the most wonderful community. Our school has grown enormously over the last 30 years, from 38 to 210. We have seven single year classes.
Our dedicated staff are committed to ensuring that each student reaches their full potential, both academically and personally. We are very proud of our curriculum that inspires our students to become confident, resilient and life-long learners.
We offer a variety of extracurricular activities, sports, and clubs that help students explore their interests, build friendships, and develop a strong sense of community. We have very close links with the church and a strong Christian ethos. Our school values are embedded through our ethos.
We worship in the church once a week and enjoy a regular Eucharist as well as celebrating special services such as Easter and Christmas. The PTA (Parents and Teachers Association) are very active and so very supportive of the school. They plan and run many events in and outside the school day, from used uniform sales to Fire Work night.
