The school has a caring ethos and values its warm relationships with children, teachers, parents and governors. There is an active fund raising group, Sterling Fundraisers, which gives practical help to the school, and contact between staff and parents.
There are five Key Stage One classes and a Foundation Stage Unit, which has two F2 classes, for 4 and 5 year olds, and an F1 class, for three to four years olds (mornings only).
