Looking to Start School with Us?

We are a small and friendly village school with around 210 pupils and a team of caring, dedicated staff.

I am incredibly proud to lead such a happy, supportive school where children always come first. We are committed to helping every pupil grow into an independent, confident, and successful individual.

While we celebrate strong academic achievement, we also believe in developing the whole child. Through our creative approach to art, music, sport, and personal and social education, we ensure that every child gets a well-rounded and inspiring start to their education.

As parents, you play a vital role in your child’s journey, and we are excited to work in partnership with you to fulfil our school motto: “Learning Together for Life”
