The school is situated in the village of Wittering, close to RAF Wittering home of the Harrier Jump Jet. It is a co-educational day school for children aged 4 - 11 years and mainly serves the villages of Wittering, Thornhaugh and Wansford (north of the River Nene), although children living outside of the area may also be admitted. Approximately 85% of pupils who attend the school are children of RAF personnel quartered at Wittering.

Part of the school was constructed in 1991/92 with an older part being totally refurbished at the same time. Further modernisation was completed in 2000 and consists of 3 new classrooms, a computer suite and a new hall and kitchens.

The school is known for the high standards achieved by many of its pupils, for its success in supporting children with special educational needs and for its welcoming and friendly atmosphere.
