The school serves a wide catchment area of surrounding villages and farms. There is also a growing number of children from out of the catchment area.At present the staffing establishment is Headteacher plus three full time teachers and six part-time teachers. We also have a full-time Nursery Nurse who works with Foundation.The school has one full-time and one part-time Administrator, seven part-time Teaching Assistants, six Midday Supervisors, two School Food Support Assistants and one Premises Officer. The Governing Body, at present, consists of 10 enthusiastic and committed Governors with varying lengths of service and experience.

The school is very proud of the partnership it has developed with parents. They are encouraged to take an active part in their children’s learning and are welcomed into school to help out in classes, assisting with educational visits and swimming. Opportunities are offered for discussion of individual children’s progress twice a year and in between parents and teachers initiate discussions as and when the need arises. Individual reports are issued in June of each year.

At the end of Year 6, the majority of children transfer to The Market Bosworth School.There is an active Friends’ Association which raises funds and organises social and community events.The school belongs to and plays an active role in Unity which is a Small School support group. This group provides professional support for staff and activities for the children and ensures that the school does not become isolated.A very successful pre-school group (Playmates) meets each Thursday afternoon in the School Hall, under the guidance of the Nursery Nurse.We have achieved Eco-school status, along with a Healthy Schools Award, Arts Award and the Activemark.

Our Key Stage One and Two SATs results are very good.We pride ourselves in providing an all-round education with music, drama, sport and environmental issues high on our list of priorities.
