About the School
Established in 1789, this rural Church of England school serves around 90 children and is deeply rooted in strong values, with pupils taught the importance of its motto: Respect, Believe and Succeed. The school currently has spaces available in all year groups and consistently achieves very good SATs results, performing above both local and national averages. Most pupils go on to attend Chenderit Secondary School, with many also gaining places at independent schools. There is a thriving music culture, offering a wide selection of lessons, alongside specialist art teaching that actively encourages creativity in all pupils. A wide range of extracurricular activities is available, including football, drama and dance, supported by close links with sports leaders at Chenderit.
