Our school is a friendly, positive village school with high standards expected of the children within a caring, Christian ethos.
The school values partnership with parents, carers and the community to create a stimulating, learning environment for the children. We plan an active curriculum that aims to be vibrant, challenging and creative with clear skills progression for learning.
We are focussed on establishing greater links with the community around us; the village and our parish churches. Our recent OFSTED comments very favourably on our values and family ethos:
The school uses its small size to its advantage by promoting a strong family ethos.
A strong set of values underpins the school's work and leads to the outstanding personal development of its pupils.
They respond well to the high expectations of teachers, and their behaviour is outstanding.
They value the 'happy and friendly school', and the 'strong sense of belonging' that is promoted.
Our Foundation Stage (for Reception children) was graded as Outstanding in all areas. Also, we were graded as Outstanding or Good in all inspected areas. For a small school, this is a real achievement.
There is a link below to our school website (which will soon undergo some big changes!). However detailed information you may find online; nothing will replace a visit in reality! We welcome visitors to see our school in action.

We will also post our relevant dates in the dates section on this website.
Aims and Values
The children, staff and governors have written the following aims and values that encapsulate the ethos of the school.
• To provide effective learning through high quality teaching.
• To promote Christian values and encourage respect and understanding of other religions, races and ways of life.
• To respond positively as a school community to the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
• To provide a caring and creative environment in which everyone feels safe.
• To give each child the opportunity to reach their potential.
We believe that school is a place where children enjoy the challenge of learning. For our school community to thrive and grow we provide a stimulating and supportive environment that encourages all individuals to use their abilities to the full. Our school develops the whole child, academically, socially and spiritually, to enable them to progress with confidence.
The children have been very busy thinking about what we want our school to be. They have thought of a recipe for a happy, effective and successful school. The recipe is below:
Ingredients
several handfuls of trust
heaps of support
oodles of enthusiasm
a large sprinkling of laughter
ample lashings of teamwork
a huge chunk of respect
a vast galaxy of knowledge and skills
Method
We understand that different people believe different things and no one is better than anybody else.
Children and grown ups all learn together.
We are all given the chance to be the best that we can be.
We feel safe everywhere around school.
