School Description

The school is a friendly place where children feel safe and flourish. The school’s vision, ‘we care, we learn, we achieve’, is evident in daily life. Pupils take pride in attending this school and appreciate the genuine care from staff. They know there is always someone to talk to if they have any concerns. The school sets high expectations of what pupils can achieve, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils meet these expectations and are keen to learn. Teachers present learning in engaging ways that foster pupils’ enthusiasm for learning. From the early years, children learn to work independently, behave well and treat each other with kindness. Teachers plan events that extend and enrich the school’s curriculum, for example, visiting a planetarium and interacting with animals. Pupils participate in village events, school clubs and activities that develop their interests and talents. During breaktimes, pupils engage in play joyfully, eagerly tackling challenges on the large play equipment while sharing conversation with friends.

“Avoid BAD School”

unlock
"> Giving 1 star because no stars was not an option. I am a parent of a child that was in Year 1. The school is currently run by terrible leadership and trust. If your child has SEN, please avoid this school at all costs. Our family were strongly discouraged from applying for an EHCP, despite medical evidence of a diagnosis and a clear gap in academic progression. The school made no attempt to reach out to an Occupational Health Therapist, or an Educational Psychologist for advice on how to best cater for my child’s needs. Further to this, the school had identified that my child was vulnerable but no individual safeguarding plan was put in place. This led to catastrophic results.
