Our outstanding school covers the ages 4-11 and is two-form entry, accommodating approximately 425 children. The school is in the suburb of Totley in South Sheffield, on the edge of the Peak District.

Similarly, when the bell goes for the end of school, children are again greeted at home time by our friendly Nook staff. They then experience a choice of more high-quality activities and a nutritious tea if required. The Nook is open until 6pm each day.
