We offer excellent, easy and safe access to our school.  In fact, when you see our spacious school grounds you may well think that you are in the country.  The front of our school comprises a large grassed area, bordered by trees,  junior and  senior adventure playgrounds. In the centre is an asphalted area which includes netball and basketball courts. Across the road is a sports ground, Ian Galloway Park, which we also often access.

Our buildings incorporate spacious, light, well resourced teaching spaces, a superbly stocked library, a central internal assembly hall, a reception and administration area.
