Welcome!

We look forward to welcoming you to our wonderful school! Alma is a small, nurturing school with a strong focus on creativity and personal development (see more quotes from our families below).

We will be holding 3 more open mornings  for families looking for a Reception place in September 2025. The dates for our open mornings are: Wed 27th Nov, Fri 6th Dec and Wed 8th Jan all from 9:30am to 10:30am. 

The open mornings will enable you to see our school in action and will include class visits, as well as a short presentation about the school. You will be able to meet our Headteacher and hear from some of our current families.

“I highly recommend Alma for a well-rounded education, where your child will not only develop academically but also to be confident and kind. More than just a school - a community where parents are supportive of each other.”

“Love the school. My children are happy, have done well academically and that’s the most I can ask for!”

“Small school, fabulous community, lovely staff that are approachable and kind. Ethos of the school is strong, leadership is good and most importantly, the children are happy and they learn well.”

“It's a lovely small school, with an exceptionally caring community, where children run into school with enthusiasm and vigour, and leave at the end of the day happy!”

“We have loved Alma and feel that it is a warm and nurturing school. They always try hard and make changes as appropriate along the way.”

“My child is so happy at Alma and the energy and ethos of the school is extremely kind and nurturing which is very special.”
