Around the School
Classrooms
Our school is very light and airy. All of the classrooms have windows which look out onto our extensive field. As well as the four main classrooms and the Early Years outdoor area, we have practical areas which are excellent for art and practical activities as well as small group work.
Early Years Outdoor Classroom
Our outdoor area is an extension of the Early Years classroom. Here the children are given the opportunity to learn, explore and develop in this safe and stimulating space.
Early Years & Key Stage 1 Practical Area
Our Early Years and Key Stage 1 area links the indoor classrooms with the outside classroom. It is a light and bright space where the children can learn and enjoy activities such as the junk modelling, water and sand trays and the ‘role play’ corner.
Key Stage 2 Practical Area
Library
Our library is stocked with fiction and non-fiction books and the children use it on a regular basis.
School Hall
Our spacious hall serves as an assembly area, PE space and also a dining room where the children eat their meals, which are cooked daily on site.
Outside Classroom
We have many different areas within our school grounds. Our wildlife area includes a pond and a covered veranda which is an excellent space for the children to sit during outdoor learning time.
Outdoor Activity Equipment
We are very fortunate to have fantastic grounds which span approximately three acres. Within this space we have: a large field with a climbing wall, wooden climbing equipment and a gym trail. The children utilise this area each playtime whether this be in trainers or wellington boots!
Sports Field
On our main school field, we have two football pitches and a variety of wooden play equipment; this includes a fort, a climbing frame, a gym trail and a small climbing wall. In the grounds we also have a ‘quiet area’ where there are picnic benches and a willow dome.
Due to the large space, our grounds are also used for community projects including the annual Firework event which welcomes 1000 visitors each year as well as hosting sporting events involving other local primary schools.
Gardens & Wildlife Area
We have several nature areas: a willow dome, a pond (which is loved by frogs), a fruit orchard and a natural wildlife garden which includes a ‘bug hotel’ and a log mound. For the last two years, we have created a garden (based on a given theme) for the Suffolk Show and been awarded Gold and Silver for our creations.
