EARLY YEARS

Pre-Nursery and Nursery are where each child’s unique learning journey begins.

Our speech focused teaching techniques allow every child to express themselves using the knowledge they have built in class. Sharing stories and making links to books captures the children’s imagination and extends their language and vocabulary. Singing nursery rhymes and going on ‘listening walks’ around our beautiful site introduces them to early phonic education in immersive and creative ways.

The foundation of each child’s learning and development begins in the early years where they learn through guided play, exploration and discovery. The Pre-Nursery and Nursery classes follow the early years foundation stage curriculum which focuses on communication and language; physical development; personal, social and emotional development; literacy; mathematics; understanding the world and expressive arts and design.

Specialist teaching takes place by qualified teachers, where children enjoy high-quality music, PE, forest school and the basics of computing during lessons. These activities develop particular skills outside of the classroom which furthers their development.

The Pre-Nursery and Nursery pupils also enjoy relaxing in yoga sessions, getting messy gardening or creating art work during the school week.
