Objects and Policies
The school is open to all children of nursery and primary school age, regardless of gender, politics, race or religion, in small classes, focusing on individualism and creating the ‘all round child.’
Review of the school’s development, activities and achievements
The school continues successfully, with numbers at around 45-50 pupils, spread across Preschool, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. As well as working alongside the National Curriculum, pupils have experienced a diverse range of activities in the last year. These have included - topic-based trips, multisports and outdoor learningwhich has now been developed as part of the school curriculum.
The school has developed home-schooling and flexi schooling options, as well as full time education. There are long term home schoolers, attending throughout the year, 2 days per week, and others just staying for short blocks of time, but this has been a very popular way of introducing new children to the school, as some have started with home school sessions and then moved on to be flexi or full time. Flexi schoolers attend 3 or 4 days per week and are on the admissions roll at the school.
The school has also continued with before and after school care for those working parents needing an extended school day for their

children. Staff have shared the responsibility of staffing this between them.
The staff team has experienced some changes during this academic year, as Deb Bates, who was a long standing member of the school left due to family commitments. Deb had been involved with the school for over 30 years as a parent, fundraiser and teacher. She co-ordinated the annual Art Exhibition for many years and helped raise considerable funds for the school. She will be sadly missed by staff, parents and pupils.
The school employed two part time teachers in Deb’s position and Bria Adlington, an ex pupil and teaching assistant who had been on maternity leave, returned to her position on a part time basis.
The school continues to build their links with the local community but have been restricted by Covid measures. The school and nursery held a virtual Christmas Play, which families could view on the school You Tube channel at their leisure. Unfortunately the annual village fete and afternoon tea at the village hall had to be cancelled again due to the pandemic.
Our successful preschool continues to flourish, and all staff have been in training to further their professional development. The staff continue to provide a good education appropriate to each child’s needs, as well as welcoming volunteers and students into school to help with their careers.
Parents and friends provided a good commitment to fundraising for the school, including our annual August Bank Holiday Art Exhibition, which still went ahead virtually.
