Thank you for taking the time to visit our school website. Before you begin I d like to share with you what we believe makes us special. We are very proud of our school and all that the children achieve during their time with us.
We have a dedicated team of staff and Governors who give their time, expertise and support in making each day a special day for the children along with a committed PTA, who work tirelessly to raise funds for our extra-curricular activities. We are a thriving and growing Junior School situated in the heart of Wallingford town.
The majority of our children join us from our local infant school, St Nicholas, along with a number of children from the surrounding villages. Our admission number is 60 and this has allowed us to have two classes per year group. We presently have 234 children on roll.
