About us

We are very proud of our newly built, eco friendly school which opened in 2006. Our dynamic lighting changes to optimise learning opportunities for the children. Rain water is harvested to ensure that natural resources are used economically and the airy design of our school with its spacious atrium helps promote a calm, purposeful learning environment in which children excel in their learning.

Our school grounds provide stimulus, shade and opportunities for children to use their imagination and in play. There is space for every class to have its own allotment to grow fruit and vegetables encouraging and inspiring outdoor learning.

We strongly encourage you to come and visit our school and share in what makes our school special.
