The school was first founded as a board school in 1882, moving to a new building in main road in 1903. It made a more recent move in September 1983 to the present building on the Betts Farm Estate. A warm working atmosphere pervades the whole building.
It is very much a family school, parents, staff and governors all contribute to this atmosphere. You will be welcome here and staff are always ready to discuss your child’s development, but there will be occasions when you will need to make an appointment to ensure sufficient time to discuss any particular subject. Please do not think some things are too small to bother us about; if it affects your child’s confidence then it is important. The school provides a balanced curriculum, in accordance with National Legislation, that will give your child the opportunity to develop and extend their particular abilities and strengths. We intend that each child will be literate and numerate at a level consistent with their ability, when the move is made to Secondary School.
We hope our web site helps to inform you as to the ethos, philosophies and priorities of our school. If you would like the opportunity of discussing anything with me or looking around the school, please contact me so that appropriate arrangements can be made.
Finally, may I remind you that parents are always welcome in the school and that the school’s success depends on a mutually supportive relationship between parents and staff.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs M Heatherson
Head Teacher
