Welcome to our website. If you are new family or a family who knows our school well, I hope you find the information on the site useful. Our school is very special in that our children come from the local surrounding area and from national and international locations.

Ofsted 2007-
"The good care, support and guidance help to provide a stable environment for all pupils because members of staff understand their individual circumstances and needs .The school's provision for equal opportunities is outstanding."
"Effective teaching and learning in the school helped to maintain this good progress. Pupils make good progress from whenever they join the school."

We are very proud of our children and team of dedicated staff as the results continue to be above the national average.

Tag Rugby tournament
11th March

On Wednesday 11th March, Mrs T, Miss Kwok and Mrs Howe took 20 children from Mice and Foxes classes to Ampthill Rugby Club for an interschools tournament.

The children played fantastically, very fairly with good sportsmanship.
Lots of parents came along to support the children and made excellent cheerleaders! It really is an exciting game!
Mr Marshall, a PE teacher from Robert Bloomfield, will be coming in to give the children in Foxes and Mice some extra coaching on Wednesday mornings.

Craft Fayre
Well done to Mrs Oswick for organising another successful craft fayre. Over £600 was raised which will go towards improving the courtyard area and hopefully a pond. A big thank you to everyone involved in this.

The Mice and Foxes classes had a great day at Kempston Outdoor Activity centre. Please click here to see them in action.

Travel Plan

As part of the school's travel plan, you may have noticed that we have a speed sign outside the school to remind drivers to slow down. This hopefully will make it safer for people walking to and from school and on the occasions when children are taken out of shool, either to swimming lessons or to do map studies or traffic surveys etc.

Children in Foxes class helped to make the occasion by donning florescent jackets and waving signs at passing traffic to encourage them to obey the speed limit.

With this Term's school project of Water,the Rabbit Class were very lucky to have a trip down the road to the Koi Carp Centre.
