History
The School was established in 1953. It was originally one of two school with the other being in Abbot's Worthy. As the school started to grow they bought Hinton House. this is an old Victorian house situated adjacent to the school site. this was then used to house five classrooms.
In September 2008 Hinton House was sold and work began on a brand new building consisting of five new modern classrooms. this also included purpose built technology rooms. During this move some of the schools grounds were lost but they still have a wide area including a Pond and a big sports field.
Every year the school puts on a spectacular Christmas production that involves everyone in the school and each class comes on and does their own little sketch. Every year the show is different but it always links in or around the Christmas story.
