Built at the end of the 1800s, the school was extended in the late 1960s and then again in 2011. The buildings and school grounds are fully used to enhance the quality of teaching and learning. The school is set in large open grounds with an extensive playing field and hard surface play area. Within the grounds is a woodland with mature trees.
The main school comprises nine well-equipped classrooms with a library and a separate building which is space for varied use. The classrooms all have easy access to cloakrooms and toilet facilities and all rooms are spacious. Interactive screens are in all classrooms. Each class has around 8-10 Chromebooks and in addition, there is a trolley with a class set of Chromebooks. The school keeps up to date with technology and ensures continual investment.
There is an onsite kitchen where freshly cooked meals are prepared daily. A team of midday supervisory assistants oversees the children at lunchtime (mostly TA’s).
The staff of the school are energetic, talented, hardworking and dedicated. Whole school approaches to planning, recording and assessment are in place. Teachers generally work in pairs to plan the curriculum. All subjects of the national curriculum are coordinated by four teams of curriculum area leaders. A senior leadership team supports the above systems and leads the performance management system.
The school is supported by its Governing Body and by the parents. The Governing Body meets six times each year and holds additional finance meetings in order that the committee can conduct its business. The governors are active in their role as strategic planners and operate as the school’s critical friend.
