The school has a great parent community and is a very welcoming happy place with brilliant capable staff who really care about the kids. The senior staff team are very accessible and happy to talk to parents. They have loads of outdoor space on site with 4 playgrounds, an astro turf football pitch, courtyards for all the year 1 and 2 classes, and a lovely nature garden. The school is surrounded by fields and open space in three directions which makes a really peaceful setting with (relatively!) clean air, unusual for London.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"My son in year 2 is very happy here.
