## About

We are incredibly lucky at Friars Primary School and Nursery as we have lots of space! Within our grounds, we have age specific play areas, physical trails, an environmental garden and an outdoor stage. Our indoor space is equally impressive and our large classrooms provide a stimulating learning environment in which our children develop as effective learners.
