This was the first maintained school to be founded in Beaconsfield being built next to the Church of St Mary and All Saints in 1872. It has extensive school grounds, two playgrounds, one of which has play equipment and an attractive environmental area enclosing a pond. Its aim to ensure all children make a happy and confident start in their school life and to create a firm foundation of literacy and numeracy, from which children can develop at their individual optimum pace. The library is run by a team of supportive parents who work with the children in each class to exchange library books weekly. The library is an essential learning resource for research skills and to support and extend classroom topics. A wide variety of extra- curricular activities are provided both at lunchtime and after-school.
