The School Premises

There is one main building of two storeys in which are eight spacious classrooms. There are specialist areas for Computers, Music, Design-Technology and the Library. The Main Hall has a good range of equipment for gymnastics, sports and drama.

During 2004 we developed the back of the school to create a Learning Difficulties Centre and a new staffroom. This now allowed us to reorganise the use of other parts of the school and create more small group teaching rooms and we also set up a larger main office.
Outside the school has a large playing field, two playgrounds, a quiet play area and a conservation area.

Class Organisation

Children may be taught in a variety of situations: in a class, as part of a small group, individually or as a whole school .
Year groups are referred to by the year of education they are in, hence the first year are "Year 3 ", the second "Year 4 " and so on. All years are in Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum. We have two classes in each year group.
In Years 4, 5 and 6 there is an increasing amount of ability grouping in the Core subjects of English, Mathematics and Science to enable teachers to meet better the individual needs of pupils in these key subjects. We also have a system of Specialist teaching to enable our pupils to benefit from the expertise our teachers have in particular subjects throughout their time at the school. This system operates in Years 5 and 6.
The school week involves 231/2 hours teaching for the children. This conforms to DFES Guide-lines.
Each child is placed in a House. They are called Lions, Tigers and Panthers. House points are given for good work and effort. The Houses also compete at various sporting activities. Back to top
