Nursery and Reception places are available.
Our Early Years phase is made up of Nursery and Reception. It’s judged to be outstanding by Ofsted (May 2024):
‘The school’s early years is exceptional. It carefully considers what the youngest children need to know and when. Consequently, children achieve very well.’
Pupil outcomes higher than national across all primary range:
Year 1 phonics, Year 4 times tables, Year 6 SATs
'This is a great school. My son has come on massively. Teachers are brilliant and my son is thriving. I can't praise the school enough - I recommend it to all my friends.' (Reception parent survey, 2025)
