The school was founded in 1936 as a private day school and after a full inspection by the Independent Schools Joint Committee was awarded accreditation in 1984. Most children enter the school at three and three quarters or nearing that age.
The girls and boys are prepared for the 11+ entrance examinations of the Secondary School of their choice and the School has an excellent record in this respect.
The school aims to give its pupils a good all-round education firmly based on a core curriculum but as diverse in subject matter as can be reasonably expected of a primary school. A child's potential cannot be fully realised if there is too much concentration on the '3 R's' to the detriment, for example, of Art, Science and Music. Moreover, the essential co-ordination of mind and body demands adequate time in the timetable for PE and games. Within a framework of firm discipline, the School aims to achieve a happy atmosphere.
