Background:
Of the original school, built in 1953 to educate the families of Gypsum miners, only the school hall remains. Many modifications and extensions have led to additional buildings including a nursery and, most recently, the east wing in 1997. There are also two new information and communications technology (ICT) suites. This over-subscribed, 'typical village' school, has been given an A-star grade for 90 per cent of curriculum achievement by the School Indicator, Performance and Assessment Report. Extra-curricular activities include cycling, ICT, art, French, athletics, chess and a drama club, which holds an annual production. The football team were county cup runners up, and the tennis team were county champions for three years running. The Parent-Teacher Association has raised funds for 'extensive' playground refurbishments and an 'enhanced' play facility. The school gained Investors in People status in 1999. There are partnerships with Loughborough College and South Nottinghamshire College. In September 1999 there were three fund raising events for the NSPCC, Macmillan Cancer Care, and Genes day. The school believes that 'young children need to explore, question, guess, tell and play' and aim to provide 'learning experiences' that will 'enable children to do this as well as encouraging independence and the habit of learning'.
