The school is situated within beautiful grounds which are comprised of three yards, two fields and a woodland area. The school serves a diverse population which includes a specialist teaching facility for children with moderate to severe learning difficulties from year 3 to year 6.

Much emphasis is placed on children learning from first hand experiences and being immersed in their learning. We foster motivation and enjoyment in learning through providing a broad curriculum which focuses on academic progress, sports, the arts and thinking. We have firm beliefs in learner voice and children's rights and encourage pupils to develop a sense of responsibility and to show consideration for others through restorative practices. We celebrate successes to develop self-confidence, and foster self-efficacy to develop children's abilities to understand themselves, impacting upon self-reflection and improvement. Our school nurtures pupils' metacognitive skills.
