"Growing faith, challenging minds, discovering talents."
We are a Church of England School and are closely associated with the parish Church, St Peter's. We have a daily act of worship. Religious Education is taught by all class teachers following Leicestershire guidelines. Children learn about the Christian religion in a non-denominational framework and are taught about events, stories and practices of other world religions. Under the Education Reform Act you have the right to withdraw your child from Religious Education or Assemblies.
A warm welcome from Headteacher Miss Elspass describing the school as a small, rural village primary with a warm environment, three classes, and after-school clubs; school hours are 8:30am–3:00pm with doors opening at 8:15am; extensive grounds and an outdoor learning focus.
