| ABOUT US
The school has a long history. Originally built as an Open Air School in 1926, it has changed and grown over the years to become the large, two form entry community primary school we are today, accommodating about 400 children aged between 4 and 11. Our two main buildings illustrate the differences in design the years have brought with them, and the playing spaces which surround them have been developed to cater for the many needs of our children. Our playing field is situated at the top of Devonshire Road and provides a large open space on which many sporting activities can take place.
