History
In 1974, the Board of Governors, all parents at the time, purchased the school and formed a Charitable Education Trust.
In 1983 the School was enlarged to accommodate 140 children in a purpose-built, modern building.
In 2008/2009, a major refurbishment of the School was completed to provide up-to-date facilities that include a computer suite, an art/drama/music room, interactive Smartboards and new administrative offices. In Spring 2009, the kitchen was relocated to provide space for a new school library.
