Our school is located in the centre of Tollesbury, a small village situated on the Essex coast at the mouth of the River Blackwater, 9 miles east of the historic port of Maldon and 12 miles south of Colchester, Britain's oldest recorded town. The school has seven classrooms, from Foundation to Year 6, and it serves students between the ages of 4 and 11. The grounds of the school are well-kept and contain a sizable field, a brand-new adventure playground, a storytelling area, and secure outdoor learning spaces for all kids. There are well-equipped classrooms inside the facility, each with an interactive whiteboard or touch screen and wireless internet access. Physical education can be practised in the school gymnasium. We prepare meals for our kids in our own kitchen, and we are quite pleased of them.
