Happy, successful children embracing "life in all its fullness"      (John 10:10)

Choosing the right school for your child is a big decision, and we are delighted that you are considering joining our community. We are a friendly, inclusive school dedicated to creating a supportive, nurturing environment where every child can thrive.

Why Choose Us?

With a maximum of 30 pupils per year group and currently around 150 pupils in total, our small school environment offers unique benefits:

• Tailored Learning: Smaller class sizes and high adult-to-pupil ratios mean we truly get to know your child and meet their individual needs.

• Warm Community: Every child is known by name, fostering a strong sense of belonging and confidence.

• Flexibility for Families: We always consider applications above our maximum intake number where possible and aim to be flexible to parent requests whenever we can.

Reception Admissions (Starting School)

We operate a single-form entry system, welcoming all new Reception pupils in September of the academic year they turn 4 years old.
