General information

Background: Founded in 1859; moved in 1872 to its present premises, a chapel that continued to be used for Sunday worship for many years; since 1962, the building has been redesigned, with extensions including a library, craft, design and technology unit, and modern toilet blocks. Expanding school population resulted in construction of a conservatory-style classroom extension in 1999; half an acre of land provides a playing field. Most live in the villages of Melplash, Netherbury and Salway Ash, travelling to school by bus. The curriculum is taught mainly via group work, although individual work and class teaching are also used where appropriate. The school offers music and games activities; all children can participate in swimming lessons for a small fee. DfES achievement award. Ethos: 'The school aims to provide the best possible quality of learning to its pupils within a secure and happy environment, where the efforts and achievements of everyone are valued. We are committed to developing each child's full potential through academic success, musical and creative opportunities, and sporting endeavour. As an important part of the community, the school is known for its family atmosphere, Christian ethos, and moral values. Our children will be recognised as happy, confident and caring.' .
