There
are seven year groups in the school, Reception and Years 1 to 6. These
year groups are divided into three stages, Foundation, Key Stage 1 and
Key Stage 2. Each stage follows a separate curriculum that is nationally
defined:
Foundation
Stage |
Reception
Year |
Key
Stage 1 |
Years
1 and 2 |
Key
Stage 2 |
Years
3, 4, 5 and 6

At the
present time we have four mixed ability classes with two year groups in
each class, Year 1 being split between, Class 1 and Class 2. Our overall
capacity is 120, which means that there is space for seventeen children
in each year group. However, as year group size can vary significantly,
it may be necessary to review class organisation in the future.
Within each class children are taught individually, as a group and as
a whole class, but always according to their needs and abilities.
The
School Day
When
you arrive in the morning, you may enter the school grounds through the
front playground gate, which will be unlocked from 8.40 – 9.00am. The
playground will be supervised after 8.45am.We ask that children are not
left unaccompanied before this time, as we cannot accept responsibility
for them. Please do not accompany your child into the cloakroom or this
area will become too congested. Please ensure that your child arrives
in time for the start of school. Latecomers must enter through the main
entrance. For the security of the staff and children the inner main entrance
door will be kept locked.
If there is no one in the Administration Office use the buzzer on the
keypad or ring the hanging bell. Should this fail, attract attention through
Class 4’s window.
The playground gate will be unlocked again at 3.00pm so that you may wait
in the playground to collect your child. Please be considerate of classes
still going on by keeping quiet near the building.

Your

without prior notice.
