Our school is located in the southeast Hertfordshire town of Cheshunt and serves an area of mixed private and local authority houses. It shares a site with Lulus Pre-school, Brookland Junior School and Haileybury Turnford Secondary School. The majority of our children transfer to the Junior School at the end of Year 2.
Our school is a two form entry Infant and Nursery school, catering for children between the ages of 3 and 7 years old. We share a site with the linked junior school (Brookland Junior School) who offer wrap around care, Haileybury-Turnford Secondary School and Lulu's, a private pre-school that leases a building from the infant school.
Lulus can offer some 30 hour places to eligible parents. We have a good reputation in the local area and are usually at, or close to capacity. We buy into a partnership with a local charity called CHEXs to provide a wide range of support and services to our families, including parent workshops, parenting courses, counselling and health.
Introduction of Forest School sessions for all of our children in our own Elmwood Forest has enhanced the curriculum. These sessions are led by a Level 3 Forest School Specialist.
