With around 240 pupils, the Academy has nine classes – two Early Years classes; two Key Stage One classes and Five Key Stage Two classes. Our intake is set at 45 in Reception, so we review our class structure at the end of each academic year.

Our school caters for children between the ages of 4 and 11 years old and has much on offer for all who attend. In addition to our beautiful grounds, our facilities include a large playground, exceptional playing field, outdoor classroom, gardening area, kitchen and even a library bus!

We have high ambitions for all of our pupils and aim to provide an inspirational, challenging and supportive environment where children can excel, no matter what their age, need or background. We implement the PiXL Primary Edge to support this. This is a programme of attributes and skills to develop key life skills we all need in order to be successful at home, primary school and secondary school. We call this programme LORIC (Leadership, Organisation, Resilience, Initiative, Communication).

Our pastoral support team is first-rate. Our excellent teachers and support staff take the time to know the children inside and out.
