Thank you for your interest in our school. This Website is intended to give you a feel for what our school is like and what we can offer you and your child. We encourage you to come and visit us in order to give you a fuller picture.
You will see on this website our School's Vision and Aims. Parents, children, governors and staff all contributed to this which demonstrates our commitment to working in partnership. Our Vision Statement, Living Together, Learning Together encapsulates the spirit of our school. We believe in developing respect for each others' individuality, the ability to work co-operatively and in everyone taking part in the learning process. It is also possible to view our most recent OFSTED report.
The facilities offered by our modern, spacious building and extensive grounds are excellent. We currently have about 300 children organized into 10 mixed ability classes, each with its own teacher. There is a Learning Support Team of 13 staff who work with children both in and out of class. The Lower School is organised into 6 classes of mixed Year 3 & 4 children. The Upper School have single age classes; there being two Year 5 classes and two Year 6 classes. The ICT suite, Music/Drama Room, Library and Food Technology Area provide additional indoor learning areas.
Children's learning is greatly enhanced by regular use of our extensive outdoor facilities. Children have swimming lessons in our heated outdoor pool between May and September. The outdoor classroom, pond conservation area and nature trail are used to extend children's learning beyond the classroom and to develop the children's understanding of the environment. The Adventure Playground provides opportunities for play and developing problem solving skills. Playtimes and games lessons take place on our two fields and three playgrounds.
Each child's success and happiness is of vital importance to us. We believe that high self esteem and parental involvement are crucial to children's ability to learn and so everything we do is directed towards achieving this. We cannot do this on our own: your support is paramount which is why we take every opportunity to involve parents and families.
