What The Good Schools Guide says..
There are eight acres of grounds but not in the sense of lawns and pitches: instead hills and trees, enough grass for a running track for sports day and games and a dingly dell full of wild garlic and bug hotels. Wellies are essential kit. Not only is the art wonderfully vibrant and diverse, meticulously conceived and taken up with great skill and enthusiasm by the children, it’s so sophisticated as to be highly covetable.

Special Education Needs
Provision for children with special educational needs is a matter for the school as a whole. This also takes account of the exceptionally able child who will have his or her own needs, for which the class teacher will make provision through extension activities. If the progress and behaviour of a pupil has cause for concern, the pupil will be monitored, assessed by Head of Learning Support and may be registered to receive Learning Support. Provision varies between in-class support and/or withdrawal for a number of sessions each week. 10-09
