Welcome to James Peacock School

The school building opened in 1967 when the village Boys' School was closed. It is a single storey clasp building with adjoining Nursery accommodation. The school currently consists of eight teaching areas, all but two constructed around a central hall. Most teaching areas incorporate a ‘quiet area’ and ‘shared play’ space, with external access to a spacious playground and playing field. The outside area is particularly pleasant with a children’s garden, environmental area, and a trim trail

The Nursery can accommodate 78 children, 39 in the morning session and 39 in the afternoon. It has a large outdoor space which includes a sandpit area, a growing area for cultivating plants and vegetables, a playing field and a fixed large apparatus enclosure. 

Following an extension completed in June 2007 the Nursery has become part of the main school building via a link corridor which also offers additional changing and toileting facilities as well as a group classroom.

In June 2008-09 a number of additional features were added to our outdoor spaces. A new storage shed and Play Shed in the Nursery, a bike shed for children to store their scooters etc, an outdoor classroom (funding raised by the Parents' and Friends' Association) and a shelter for parents and children to access.

January 2010 witnessed another new stage in the school's development as two new classrooms were completed. These 'state of the art' teaching spaces include their own garden and play areas to enhance outdoor learning.
