This magical school is a fantastic place to learn and play, and you re invited to come and see for yourself our wonderful children, from 2 to 11, thriving in a cheerful, safe, caring environment. We are a small school with a big heart. I look forward to meeting you and showing you around.
We are excited to share our crowdfunding campaign to create a new pond and wildlife area within the school grounds. This comes fast on the heels of the school gardening club being named a top ten finalist in last years prestigious RHS School Gardeners of the Year competition.
This recognition showcases the schools commitment to environmental education and sustainable practices, while the crowdfunding campaign aims to provide children with an enhanced learning environment and support local wildlife. We use Class Dojo to keep in touch with you. Click the image to the right to go to the Dojo home page.
