Entrance
One class in reception, which is not about to change. Following the founder's maxim, they are still looking for children who will 'be kind, work hard and have fun'. A large number come by word of mouth, with many from the local nurseries such as Miss Daisy's. Occasional places further up the school, but the head says she will only take children who...
