Medlock Valley Primary School

At Medlock Valley Primary School we strive to give each child the best possible start in life with the firm belief that the Early Years are the foundation blocks for a child's education and experience throughout their school life.

We recognise each child as a unique individual and have high expectations of all our children, supporting them to develop independence throughout their time in Early Years as well as to build personal, social and learning skills that support them throughout their journey at Medlock Valley.

We are committed to providing high quality care and education and aim to provide a wide range of learning experiences that meet the varied needs of all our children. Children's interests, previous experience and needs are carefully considered when planning for their learning opportunities and experiences.

Learning through play and practical hands on experiences underpins our approach to teaching and learning in Early Years. Through play, children develop a number of skills such as language, their emotions and creativity, social and intellectual skills and are given opportunities to develop these skills in a safe and nurturing environment.
