We are an outstanding two-form entry primary school with excellent facilities.  The school opened in 2002 and has grown immensely in that period.  

The school is situated close to Richmond Park and Kew Gardens. We are close to North Sheen and Richmond train stations and benefits from good transport links with journey times of just twenty-five minutes to London.

Our last Ofsted inspection in March 2015 rated us outstanding in all areas and the inspectors stated “There are no significant areas for improvement”.  Our staff members are friendly and welcoming. Our Board of Governors is proactive and supportive of the school. 

We have extensive partnerships with schools, locally, nationally and abroad. This allows us to develop and share best practice with others and to both offer and access a range of professional development opportunities for our staff. You would be working as part of a confident, effective staff team committed to offering children an exciting, creative curriculum with a wide range of sporting, musical and artistic experiences.

We encourage all staff to achieve their professional and career goals by continually providing the opportunity to not only shape the lives of our students but to also transform the communities which we serve.
