Very child and family centered school. Parents are down to earth, willing and involved. A great supportive community, with extremely experienced teachers. Most kids are walkers, so lots of social interaction on the extensive grounds after school and at weekends. The extra benefits bestowed by Title One funding in terms of individual child tuition, after school homework club and summer vacation reading camp are priceless. I have 3 little kids there and would not move away for the world. Close Quote
