Our smaller than average school of 93 pupils serves the villages of Redlynch, Lover, Woodfalls and Morgan’s Vale in the Parishes of St Birinus and St Mary’s. Our four classes are organised into our Reception class (Swirls Class - FS2), one KS 1 class (Stripes Class – Y1/2) and two KS 2 classes (Spirals Class - Y3/4, Zig-Zag Class – Y5/6). In September 2013 the school converted to Academy status in order to integrate the Pre-school fully and become a school for children aged 2-11 which involved a significant investment in new buildings, adding additional classrooms, small group spaces, office spaces and toilets. The school is currently in the process of joining Magna Learning Partnership Multi Academy Trust.
