Our School
The school is situated in the heart of the Peak District. It is a modern two storey building on a large site. The rear of the school has stunning views over the hills and valleys around Bakewell. Outside the school is a hard play area with space for two netball courts, a very large grassed area on which are two football pitches and a running track. The rest of the school grounds are grassed and the children play out on this during the summer months. There is a small toy library in the grounds for children to borrow toys from at lunchtime. The school has accessible facilities. We are able to host the Bakewell and District School Sports events. There are six classrooms, one of which is used as an ICT suite and library, with shared work areas, toilets and cloakrooms between them. Each classroom has an interactive whiteboard and data projector. We have a large hall that is also used as a gym and the dining room. The school has its own kitchen and all the award-winning, healthy school meals are cooked on the premises.
