Why Choose Us?

Entry to Reception in September 2023: open mornings.

We are now taking appointments for parents of prospective September 2023 Reception pupils to tour the school and meet staff.  On 12th October and 2nd November 2022, appointments will be available to take small groups around the school during the morning and answer any questions that parents may have.  We have chosen this appointment approach to manage numbers effectively and disrupt the pupils less.

Open Morning Visits are by appointment only, which can be booked through the office by calling 01702 559467 during school hours.  Thank you.

If you would prefer, there is a virtual visit that previous Year 6 School Councillors made. 

Please click the link below to see the 11 minute video made by our pupils.  When asked to be critical about the finished product and what would make it even better, they said it would be perfect if it included a “blooper reel”, so that is attached separately here.
