The school was formed in 1991, the school is the result of a merger of two small rural schools in the villages of Lockeridge and East Kennet. It serves the communities of Lockeridge, Fyfield, East Kennet and West Overton and is located on two separate sites. The lower school (reception class to Year 2) occupies a building in Lockeridge, whilst the upper school (Years 3 to 6) is located in East Kennet. 'The school'seeks to offer an education built on a balanced and broadly-based curriculum which promotes the highest possible standards of personal development in each and every child in all facets - intellectual, emotional, social, physical and spiritual.' From the beginning of their second year at the school, children have the opportunity to learn the recorder, and clarinet and guitar lesson are available to pupils at the upper school. There are a variety of sporting activities and children receive instruction from professional coaches in tennis, cricket, netball and rugby.
