We are a state-funded, co-educational school. It is a full primary school catering for the learning needs of children aged 5 to 13 (Years 1-8). The current school roll is approximately 479.

We foster a positive attitude towards learning, encourage pride in performance and a desire for all children to 'go for gold' - our longstanding school motto. This is important academically, but also through sporting, performing arts and cultural opportunities.

We have a long tradition of being a focal point for the local community having access to a wide range of opportunities for engaging with the natural environment and outdoor activities, which the school actively supports.
