The top-performing peers in the area include Helmdon Primary School, Greatworth Primary School, and The Bramptons Primary School, all of which achieved higher ranking scores. The school is led by headteacher Julie Cassiano and has a capacity of 264 pupils, with 238 currently enrolled. It does not have a religious character and offers nursery provision, but no sixth form.
