Waingroves Primary School A rural school in Derbyshire, England

Our school is in a village called Waingroves near the town of Ripley in Derbyshire. It is surrounded by fields (some with cows in). There are about 200 pupils aged 4 – 11 years old. We are lucky because we have two big playgrounds and a large field
