It has a 'rich local environment' and 'extensive' school grounds with two playgrounds, a large playing field, wildlife area and large pond. The school has historical links with the church, having been founded in 1851 as a Church of England School, and 'continues to value that connection'. The school offers a 'wide variety' of extra curricular activities including a school band, woodwind, brass, violin and guitar tuition, recorder groups, choir, handbells, country dancing, art and computing. Sporting activities include football, netball, athletics, rounders, gymnastics and tennis.

Year 5 pupils are offered the opportunity of a residential visit to an adventure centre each year. All Key Stage 2 pupils swim and all enjoy taking part in local schools competitions, in two different football leagues, seven-a-side, athletics, netball and rounders competitions.
