'Achievement is excellent in the Early Years Foundation Stage. This is because the development of reading, writing and speaking/listening is so effectively addressed, particularly through carefully structured and purposeful play' 

OFSTED 

We strive to make the learning environment as exciting as possible and to offer the children rich experiences which engage them and ignite their curiosity to learn!

Our children participate in play-based, hands on activities which are carefully planned to develop their skills and which are influenced by their current interests. Children lead their learning in partnership with skillful adults who support them.

Do you have a child starting Reception with younger siblings at home? Are you looking to start you child in Year R in September and interested in our Preschool? 

Our on-site, teacher-led preschool welcomes children from 2 years and 9 months and offers government-funded places for eligible families. Our preschool provides a warm, supportive, and nurturing environment, designed to give children the best possible start to their early education. As a teacher-led setting, we work in close partnership with the main school to ensure a smooth and confident transition into Reception and beyond. Children benefit from high-quality early learning experiences, helping them to become familiar with school routines, develop independence, and build strong foundations for future learning.
