About our outstanding school

A warm welcome to all visiting our school website.

We are a village school near Otley and Ilkley with a core purpose of providing excellence for all within a happy, calm and caring environment. Our strong family ethos is reflected in how our pupils show care and concern for each other. Our pupils make a strong start to their education which they build upon as they move through the school; expectations and standards are high for all pupils. Not surprisingly, our school has been consistently judged ‘outstanding’ by OFSTED.

We hope you enjoy your visit. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us by clicking the button below.
