We are 2 schools (Nursery and Primary) which are federated under one Governing Body. We have a 104 place Nursery with an additional 24 two year old places, and a 2 form entry primary school. In addition, the federation runs projects alongside the Nursery. So To Speak2 works with Nursery, and funded2 year olds with Speech and Language delay and is partly funded by the National Lottery. 

The most recent Nursery Ofsted (March 2023) graded the school as good. This matches the Primary Ofsted judgement of good in January 2019.

'Leaders and governors ensure that the primary physical education (PE) and sport premium increases pupils’ participation in physical education and sporting activities. Pupils have recently taken part in a cross-country running competition between school houses. Pupils benefit from extra-curricular sports at lunchtime and after school as well as attendance at inter-school sports events.'

'Leaders use the pupil premium appropriately to help pupils overcome barriers to learning. Most disadvantaged pupils make strong progress from their starting points.'
