The Grounds
We are fortunate to have extensive, vibrant grounds to the rear of our school, providing a rich outdoor environment for our children to learn and play. Our facilities include a well-equipped playground, an exciting trim trail to develop physical skills and confidence, an outdoor pagoda classroom for inspiring lessons in the fresh air, and our very own dedicated Forest School site. These wonderful spaces allow us to nurture curiosity, creativity and a love of the outdoors every day.
Forest School
The Classrooms
Our school is made up of four classes, each named after a season. Autumn Class is our full Reception class, where our youngest children begin their learning journey. Winter Class is a Year 1 class, while Spring Class is a mixed Year 1/2 class, supporting children as they continue to grow in confidence and independence. Summer Class is our full Year 2 class, preparing pupils for their transition to junior school.
The Hall
Our hall is a busy and exciting space where children gather for assemblies, enjoy PE lessons, rehearse for performances and celebrate special occasions together. It is a place where confidence grows, talents shine and our school community comes together.
Breakfast Club/After School Care Club
Our Breakfast and After School Club is run in-house by our fantastic school team, ensuring a familiar, safe and nurturing environment for our children. We offer morning care from 8:00am and, upon request, after school care until 6:00pm.
For further information about our wraparound care provision, please contact the school office directly.
The Snug
Our Snug provides a quiet, nurturing space where children can take time to feel safe and supported. We use this dedicated area for interventions such as Positive Play and our Welcome Group, ensuring that every child receives the care and guidance they need to thrive both socially and emotionally.
The Library
Our little library is full of big adventures. The cosy library area is a welcoming space designed to inspire a love of reading. With shelves of exciting stories, information books and favourite classics, it’s a special place where imaginations soar and a love of reading begins.
Though small, it is thoughtfully stocked with a wide range of carefully chosen books to spark imagination, curiosity and enjoyment. It provides a calm and comfortable environment where children can discover new stories and develop a lifelong love of books.
