Mainstream Community Primary School with 420 pupils on roll.
The school is on the outskirts of Derby. We do not have any special facilities for children with sensory impairment or specific needs.
The building does not have any steps and is set in spacious grounds.

We make arrangements to visit local nurseries when pupils transition to our Reception class. Parents are invited in for an in-depth conversation with the class teacher and the pupils are phased into school over a few days.
We also liaise with up to seven secondary schools for transition from year 6. More vulnerable children are offered extra supported visits to their chosen school.
