Borehamwood is a rapidly growing town with varied demographic.  We are very proud of our reputation within the local community. We have a strong team of staff who support each other; happy children who are well behaved, feel stimulated, safe at school and enjoy their learning; supportive parents and an active PTA.  Our extra-curricular activities are enjoyed by all and we are particularly successful at sport! We are privileged to have nurture rooms to support our children, some of whom come from challenging backgrounds.  Our school’s greatest strength is its nurturing nature where children are happy, safe and secure in their learning.
