WELCOME!!!
We are a large, happy, multicultural primary school of over 600 children, which has had a long tradition of serving the community since 1933. We are situated in the heart of Slough and cater for children aged 3 to 11 years.
Our school motto is "Where Children come first" as our children are important to us regardless of their ability. Our reputation rests in our children doing well, not just in academic subjects, but in all areas of the curriculum. We are determined to continually raise achievement and strive to improve the quality of education that we offer to all our children.
