Background:

The 'easily accessible' and 'pleasant' school building was built in 1954 in an 'attractive open site' between Laleham and Staines. The grounds include a variety of different habitats, including a meadow, a wild area and a pond, two playgrounds and a playing field. A 'broad, well-balanced curriculum' is enhanced by numerous local and national class visits. Children's individuality is encouraged in order to establish 'a firm foundation for the future'. The number of children with special educational needs is above average, and they are assisted in small groups or with the help of outside sources. 'High educational standards' at the school are balanced by a 'vast' range of activities. 'There is always something going on', with a variety of after-school activities on offer to pupils. The choices alter every term. During the school day, group instrumental music tuition is available to all pupils, and each year group attends swimming lessons at Staines pool for one term. Each child is a member of one of four houses that compete against each other in sports. There is also fund-raising for different charities on a termly basis, as well as community visits to each class from the local schools' police officer. The 'thriving' Parent-Teacher Association exemplifies a keen interest in involving parents with the running of the school.
