We believe that between the ages of 3 and 7 children need a highly creative and engaging curriculum, which develops a love of learning and self-confidence. At The Lancaster School we continually strive to offer our children a high standard of education and a safe, happy environment in which to work and play.
We aim to nurture and care for each individual to enable them to grow, flourish and be the best that they can. Our learning environment is welcoming and stimulating and supports the emphasis we place on encouraging children to become independent learners who can ask questions and develop the skills to solve problems for themselves.
Children are given many opportunities to be creative and develop their creative thinking. We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum which supports the development of a wide range of skills and knowledge, with reading, writing and mathematics at the heart of everything we do.
We also place great importance on developing personal, social and emotional well-being with children being encouraged to be kind and caring towards one another.
