When children begin school, they become part of the Foundation Stage. From the age of 5, children progress to Key Stage 1 and later to Key Stage 2. The school delivers the National Curriculum which consists of the core subjects, foundation subjects and also Religious Education, which is a legal requirement. Parents have a legal right to request that their child be withdrawn from lessons in Religious Education or from acts of collective worship, but this must be arranged in consultation with the Headteacher.

There are many opportunities for children to join in lunchtime or after school activities. This year these have included football, cricket, rounders, netball, craft, brass band, recorders, choir, modern dance and country dancing. As you can see we have a wide variety of different activities which appeal to many different children. These may vary from year to year according to the commitments of our teaching staff, but all these activities are an invaluable part of our school life, which provide unique opportunities for your children.
