A new KS2 building known as Buttercup Block is now in full use and has a DT and art room as well as a dedicated SEN room and a music studio. In the original school, the classrooms are now being updated in line with the new build and the school has a huge library which is dedicated to the memory of Caroline Coombs, the previous Chair of Governors and passionate advocate of children's reading.
