The school is Edwardian in design, In recent years the school has been enlarged with the addition of two new classrooms, improvements to existing classrooms, teaching areas and the school hall. Projects were completed with community support in 2002, a further wing added in 2007, and a new school hall, library and cookery room completed in 2008. These extensions included a ramps for wheelchair access from the playground leading to corridors off which there are a staff room and office, new male and female toilets, two disabled toilets, a small kitchen and other storage areas. More building and site changes have included a covered and enclosed area for reception and early years pupils, various areas for vegetable planters and additional teaching areas on the playing field for seating and story telling with four main classrooms, incorporating a modern extension to the rear.

The school is equipped with interactive whiteboards in all teaching areas and has a network of desktop and laptop computers. Use of information and communications technology (ICT) is integrated into the wider curriculum.

A major percentage of school pupils and staff have school dinners (we also have space and include pupils and staff having packed lunches).

Behind our school we have a large field and a big playground area for use at playtimes. The playground has various games areas marked out and play equipment.  We also have a separate covered and enclosed area for reception and early years pupils

The attractive play areas at the rear of the school are surrounded by trees, and are well-equipped for play by children of all ages. On the large field we have a lot of plastic play equipment and various wooden play/seating and teaching structures. A garden area at the front of the school has a pond that also serves as a focus for studies of the local wildlife and vegetable planters.

We are part of a group of local small primary schools including Bealings, Bucklesham and Waldringfield. This enables us to entertain joint ventures, including a residential week for older pupils, sports activities, including football and netball matches and a regular meeting and mixing of the schools (normally a day together termly) to enable pupils to experience a wider community of peers and different environments before moving to larger continuation schools with some of the pupils they meet.
