Welcome to our wonderful nursery and infant school, nestled in the heart of Farnborough. Here, we believe in three core values: Belong, Respect, Aspire. These aren't just words on a wall; they are the heartbeat of our school community. Belong: We strive to create a warm, inclusive environment where every child feels they truly belong.
Think of us as one big, happy family – minus the sibling squabbles (most of the time!). Respect: We teach our children to respect themselves, each other and the world around them. It's amazing what a little kindness and understanding can do – and it starts right here. Aspire: We encourage our children to dream big and reach for the stars.
Whether they want to be astronauts, artists or even headteachers (a highly recommended career, by the way), we're here to support their ambitions.

Governing body (3 current, 3 former)
iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.1 governor is linked to a profile (all confirmed).
Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
