Year 6 residential: what to pack
The kit list, the medication form, and why we're saying no to phones again this year.
Reception 2027: open mornings on 8 and 22 October, 9:30. Book a place — no need to register with the council first.
Ages 4 – 11 · two-form entry · 412 pupils
Small enough to know every child. Big enough to have a library.
Larkfield is the primary school on Lark Lane, behind the park. This site is for parents and carers first: the things you need are in the four boxes below, and a person answers the phone from eight.

About the school
What we're for
Reading first. Every child reads with an adult every day until they can read to themselves, and then they read to a younger one. It sounds simple; it takes the whole timetable to protect.
The rest follows: maths taught for understanding rather than tricks, a science lab that's actually used, music from Year 1, and a school day with enough breaks in it.
We were last inspected in March 2025. The report is short and worth reading in full.
