About

At Purley Nursery School we are passionate about all our school community working together to inspire, strive, grow and achieve. We are relentless in our drive to inspire every member of our school community to develop a love for learning and to be proud of all achievements great or small.

Our mission for Purley Nursery School is to inspire every child, regardless of any barriers to learning they may face to become happy confident learners. We do this by providing an inviting, caring and stimulating environment, which encourages independence, self-assurance and celebration of their individual uniqueness.

We aim to equip all children with the skills necessary to take risks in their learning, be happy and confident to try new things and develop resilience and confidence in character, creating learners for the future.
