The Early Years Department comprises both Nursery and Reception Classes. We have an excellent team of specialist teachers who are committed and passionate about education in the early years. Our spacious facilities and outdoor learning area make learning and teaching enjoyable for everyone.
In the Nursery children are divided into small working groups. Children join the school in the term after their third birthday and can attend either mornings only or full time. Their attendance is gradually increased so that they are fully prepared for the Reception class when they are five years old.
Teaching is based on the Foundation Stage Framework and activities cater for the individual needs of the child. The ‘Six Areas of Learning’ is the focus of achievement in the early years and forms the basis of our Foundation Stage Curriculum.
Our Inspection Report states that we provide an outstanding start to formal schooling.
