About

For the youngest members of our school community, each day is a new adventure. Our priority is to ensure that their exciting learning journey begins in a safe and secure environment. We nurture every child with individual attention and engage them with a curriculum full of activities designed to stimulate a lifelong desire to learn.

In Nursery, children explore learning across the entire range of imaginative, creative, social and academic curricula. The emphasis is on playing and having fun, and activities are directed both by staff and the children themselves. We embrace the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum but pride ourselves on adding so much more.

Our fun-packed weekly programme of activities offers specialist teaching in a range of subjects including music, dance, drama, sport, cookery, French, computer skills, art and yoga. Within spacious surroundings, the children can explore, discover, and learn.

We have custom-built Nursery and Upper Nursery rooms leading to an outdoor classroom with a covered play-lawn and, at the edge of our 10-acre site, we have our very own Forest School.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
