Early Years

From Nursery to Reception, Our Early Years team provide high quality, interest based and child led opportunities for learning to cover the skills set out in the UK National Curriculum, ‘Development Matters’.

We carefully plan for a range of ‘continuous’ and ‘enhanced’ provision which is flexible and specifically targeted to meet the individual needs of all pupils. ‘Continuous provision’ is the ongoing resources and activities the children can choose to access and ‘Enhanced provision’ is the specific adaptations teachers make to scaffold learning as they interact with the children through their play and child led projects.

Our Focus is always to develop experiences and skills in all areas of learning. Using our broad-based class topics as a framework, teachers build on the interests of each child they observe during play based learning time. This is extended through teacher led sessions, focused activities and multi-sensory challenges. Our activities provide opportunities for children to explore, investigate, create and discover their way through the curriculum. This personalised learning supports each child to work towards their age appropriate goals that their own pace.
