Early Years

The schools values and beliefs are deeply rooted in our Early Years provision; this supports our younger children as they embark on their educational journey.  Our ethos is underpinned by the knowledge, understanding, skills, care and expertise of our staff.

The early years are a time of ‘awe and wonder’ as children discover, explore and try out new things. In our early years setting, children have opportunities to play, learn and develop as they experience a wide range of adult-led and child initiated activities.

Staff build upon what children already know and can do, promote their self-confidence, autonomy, independence and fulfilment.  Using individual targets and tracking, children’s learning is monitored throughout the Early Years Foundation Stage and into Key Stage 1.

Our ethos embraces and nurtures every child as an individual, with positive attitudes and respect for themselves, others and their environment.  We offer children rich experiences in a variety of situations, creating a learning environment that stimulates and invites them to engage holistically and emotionally; both indoors and outdoors.
