The school currently has 3 Classes with the layout as follows: Starfish – Reception and Year 1 Dolphins – Year 2, 3 and 4 Sharks – Year 5 and 6 Our school day runs from 8.45am until 3.15pm. This means that we currently offer 32.5 hours of schooling per week which does not include any after school club provision. We are fortunate to have ‘Butterflies’ a privately run playgroup on site, which caters for pre-school children. These children are often involved in school events and many of them go on to join our Reception class. We also have a thriving Parents and Toddlers group that meets in the school hall on a weekly basis. This is a good way of introducing young children to the school environment.
