The school building is of a traditional style that stands on the edge of the village of Ormiston.  In addition to the ten classrooms we have a large gymnasium, library, resource rooms, a nursery and our own kitchens where meals are cooked and served.  Wheelchair access is available.

Our nursery runs with two cohorts of 30 children 48 weeks of the year.  The groups attend on a Monday/Tuesday or Wednesday/Thursday with both in nursery on alternative Fridays.  Our nursery makes the most of our local area with trips to the woodland areas and uses the local park for Play on Pedal sessions and other activities.
