School Campus
There are 3 classrooms for each year. There is a Lower School (Year 3 & Year 4) and an Upper School (Year 5 & Year 6). There is an ICT suite in both the Lower and Upper School areas. They are located in the middle with the classrooms on the outside.
Located in the Upper School is a teacher's study room, technician's desk and toilets. In the Lower School is a Special Needs room known as The Hodan Room and toilets.
In between both the Upper and Lower School areas is Reception, Medical Office, Library, Offices, Staffroom, School Hall, School meals Kitchen, Disabled Toilet, Changing Rooms, Music Store, Teacher Cloakrooms and an Art Room.
The school hall was recently updated, with work being finished in September 2010. Nine and a half metres were added to the end of the hall, seriously modifying the geography of the school grounds. As small as the extension may sound, it makes an amazing amout of difference. All of this is down to the former headteacher Kevin Parfoot, to whom everyone involved with the school are eternally grateful.
The school seems large to start with but is in fact quite small but has a lot to offer in the small building.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“The first rule of education for me was discipline. Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life. I discipline myself to do everything—getting up in the morning, walking, dancing, exercise. If you won’t have discipline, you won’t have a nation. We can’t have permissiveness. When someone comes in and says, “Oh, your room is so quiet,” I know I’ve been successful.”
—Rose Hoffman, U.S. public school third-grade teacher. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)
