Curriculum

The curriculum focuses around active learning to provide experiences that promote development and learning.

Activities are planned to develop emotional, personal and social skills, science and discovery, physical play, manipulative skills, domestic and imaginative play, language and numeric experiences, drama and creative activities along with cultural and religious traditions.

Our children learn and develop through practical, play based activities and are supported to try a wide variety of activities and share their experiences with each other. Great emphasis is placed on encouraging the children to support each other and ‘to learn how to learn’. Children make a seamless transition to the separate Reception learning class where further solid foundations are laid in preparation for the more formal style of learning in Year 1.
