Outside in the playground, the children have a large area of wooden play-equipment on which they can climb and test their agility skills. They also use the huge field behind the school and the tarmac play area. At the bottom of the field there is a conservation area where wild pond life and fauna can þourish in a protected environment.

Children who misbehave within school are not subject to corporal punishment. We feel that achievement and reward channel children's energies far more effectively.

Parents are always welcome in school to help with classroom work or just to monitor their own child's progress. School is a friendly place where the teachers and the headteacher welcome any support from the children's families. The headteacher is not a person who inspires fear or who intimidates, but somebody whom the children see regularly and trust.
