Our school is in the town of Matlock, on the edge of the Peak District overlooking the impressive Riber Castle. The main school building dates back to the late 1800s, but has had many alterations and additions since then. We are an extensive site, with our own separate Hall, Dining Kitchen, playing field and Key Stage 1 and 2 buildings, as well as a purpose built Nursery.
We host a daily breakfast club and a range of after school clubs, as well as weekly enrichment groups which consist of; singing, drumming, cookery, outdoor learning, craft, sports and young enterprise. We believe that our children should blossom and flourish in a culture of respect. We strive to ensure our children have the characteristics and skills to achieve.
