Welcome to our school, a vibrant and inclusive community where every child is valued and supported to achieve their best. We are a primary school located in Buckingham Park, dedicated to providing high-quality education to children aged 4-11.

Our school is a place of traditions and special events, where children can learn and grow in a safe and nurturing environment.
