The school is set in a peaceful and very attractive location, surrounded by trees and open farmland.  There is access to excellent facilities including three large classrooms, a hall and library, a large playing field and hard playground area, a secure infant play area, a Forest School area and a delightful environmental studies area, and a small adventure play area adjoins the playground.

As we are a small school, we are able to form a very close relationship with all children and their families, and build an atmosphere which is personal, secure and friendly in nature.
