With a current enrolment of 225 pupils and a capacity of 240, the school promotes a nurturing environment focused on lifelong learning.

Parents are encouraged to actively participate in school life through various activities, including trips and fundraising events organized by the joint PTA with the adjacent infant school. Strong community ties are maintained with local organisations, including St John's Church and residential homes.

Admissions are managed by the Local Authority, with a Pupil Admission Number of 60 for each year group. Prospective parents are invited to visit the school to meet staff and learn more about the curriculum and support available for students. Applications for Year 3 are typically processed in January, with late applications considered afterward.
