In Nursery, children’s learning is focused around the three Prime areas of learning: Communication and Language; Physical Development and Personal, Social and Emotional Development. This allows children to develop curiosity and enthusiasm when exploring and learning. Children’s learning is further enhanced and scaffolded across the four specific areas of learning: Literacy; Mathematics; Understanding the World and Expressive Arts & Design.

Our PE days are on a Thursday morning and a Friday afternoon. Children are required to wear comfortable trainers for these sessions along with either their school uniform or plain navy trousers or shorts and a plain navy top/ zipped jumper/ hoody. Your child can come into school wearing their PE kit on the allocated PE days.
We also have ‘Woodland Wednesdays’ where we will visit the school forest and get muddy. Your child will require a puddle suit and wellies.
