Background:

The school originated from an amalgamation of a first and middle school in September 1993. Both schools were experiencing falling rolls and the first school had financial difficulties. Since amalgamation the roll has steadily increased and additional temporary accomodation was supplied in January 1995. The school is now over-subscribed. The permanent buldings are of 'solid construction' on a 'very attractive' site. The school offers many extra-curricular activities including: football, netball, athletics, country dancing, table tennis, choir, band, recorder, instrumental tuition, drama and chess. It has developed strong links with the community. The school bands and choir perform regularly at local churches and at community events. Music is a strength of the school and their concerts and productions are highly regarded by parents and invited guests. The school'supports many charitable events and has a chosen charity each year.
