Children enjoy coming to school every day. Leaders and staff strive to ensure that all children get off to a great start in their education. Staff are highly effective at helping children settle in, especially those with special educational needs and / or disabilites (SEND). This is a warm and welcoming school. Children benefit from a well-thought-out curriculum.
Leaders expectations and ambition for all children are high Golborne Maxilla provides high quality education for children aged 2 – 5 (until they enter reception at primary school). We also offer an extended day for 3 – 4 year olds in the nursery school. We pride ourselves on providing a stimulating and well-resourced learning environment.
It goes without saying that we provide clean, modern and attractive surroundings for staff and children, but we also try to provide the most exceptional fun, interesting and supportive learning environment for our children as we possibly can. As a result, we are very popular in the area and usually oversubscribed.
