The Curriculum
With our varied curriculum and specialist teaching in Performing Arts, Cooking, Language and more, children get to develop their own unique talents in addition to tailored, short-burst learning sessions providing them early access to phonics, maths and literacy skills.
Games & The Arts
Children play with trikes, bikes, push cars, and climb to develop physical and gross motor skills. In Forest School twice a week children play, run, and explore. Crafts, sensory play, getting messy and using clay helps strengthen fine motor skills.
Pastoral Care
Developing a strong and personal bond with each child provides a solid foundation helping children grow in independence and become confident learners. Children also feel safe knowing that they have someone to talk to if they feel unwell or sad.
Your child is unique, and we believe that their learning should reflect their individuality. Children receive individual focus from trained teachers who tailor their programme to reflect the child’s needs.
Head Teacher’s Philosophy
We believe in offering children an inspirational and fun introduction to school life, with a balanced education and focus on spiritual wellbeing helping them discover their unique potential. This blend encourages an overall love of learning and peace of mind leaving children with happy memories of their start at school.
