Short profile:
The population of the school is representative of a large number of ethnic groups, the largest of which are Afro-Caribbean and African. Other groups from Latin America, Europe including White British, Asia and the Indian sub-continent are also well represented. A large proportion of the pupils have English as an additional language and over 30 languages are represented.
The school occupies four buildings on the same site. The largest of these buildings is the KS2 building which was built in 1884. In addition to eight classrooms and the administrative offices, this building has a Computer suite, a Music room, a Library and a Science room. Years 2 to 5 are based here.
The key stage 1 building was built in the 1960s. It houses a self-contained Nursery plus Reception and Year 1 classes. This building also has a hall, the kitchen, a Family Learning Centre and various offices.
Detailed description:
The third building is called the Annex and houses both Year 6 classes. The fourth building, formerly the “caretaker’s house” has been converted and extended. It houses the Sybil Phoenix Centre which is a Primary Learning Support Unit for pupils at risk of exclusion, and the Cynthia Beg House which accommodates offices and work rooms for governors, learning mentors, counselors and parents.
The school has two large playgrounds, one for each key stage, with climbing frames installed on soft surfaces and shelters. There are two grassed areas with tables and seats for children to sit and talk. Pupils in the Key Stage 1 building also have access to their own outdoor areas for curricular activities.
