Our school, built in 1973, is located in a quiet residential area in Linslade, just outside Leighton Buzzard. It is set in lovely grounds with extensive play areas and a large playing field. We are particularly proud of our environmental area and the covered outside classroom area for Year 1 children.

The Early Years unit has recently achieved Investors in Children through the Effective Early Learning initiative. Children are invited to start school part-time in the term after they are 4, and progress through to full time school the September of their Reception year.  In years 1 to 4, there are two classes in each year group, with a maximum of 30 pupils. We aim to meet the individual needs of all our children and run sessions for our gifted and talented children in addition to support groups for children who need extra assistance with learning or social issues.

The school is well resourced and ICT provision is good, with computers available in all classes. French teaching takes place in all four Key Stage 2 classes and the curriculum is also enriched with numerous visits, visiting artists and activities. We are taking part in the Healthy Schools initiative gained validation in 2007. We manage our own kitchens and produce healthy and tasty school dinners with menus provided to all parents.

Although our children are working at above national and county averages, we have a real commitment to developing the whole child as an individual. This is reflected in our provision of allocated time for PSHCE and Circle time and a wide selection of extra curricular opportunities.

This web site will give you a flavour of our school, but you are warmly invited to visit us. Please make an appointment via the school office and I will be delighted to show you around and enable you to meet the children and staff.

I look forward to meeting you!
