Our school is a two-storey building with wide corridors, allowing easy movement throughout the premises. For any child or staff member who may find stairs challenging, ground-floor classrooms will be allocated as needed. We also provide a designated disabled parking space for blue badge holders, located next to a drop curb and flat surfaces for easy access.
The main reception is clearly signposted and fully wheelchair accessible, as are all external doors leading into the school. While our doors open outwards and may present some difficulty, our staff are always on hand to assist, including with the sign-in process. Our reception desk is two-tiered to accommodate all visitors, with a dedicated space for wheelchair users.
Additionally, our electronic sign-in system can be adjusted to different levels to meet individual needs. We have an accessible unisex toilet in the centre of the school which is very close to our school reception. We have an additional accessible toilet at the far end of our school which is fitted with a lifting hoist.
We can provide large print versions of documents if required. We are currently a dog-free site with the exception of Guide Dogs and puppies in arms.
