Nursery Provision
Our Little Oaks Nursery offers a stimulating environment for children aged 3-4. Qualified staff deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum through play-based learning. The class operates in purpose-built facilities with dedicated outdoor spaces, preparing children for school through social, emotional, and academic development activities.
Outdoor Learning
We utilise extensive grounds featuring woodland areas, an allotment, and outdoor gym. The OPAL Gold-accredited programme develops physical skills, environmental awareness, and creative problem-solving. Children engage in structured activities and free play that promote risk assessment, teamwork, and connection with nature throughout the seasons.
Special Educational Needs Support
Our inclusive approach ensures all children receive appropriate support through individualised learning plans. Specialist staff work alongside teachers to adapt curriculum delivery and provide targeted interventions. We maintain close partnerships with external agencies and offer regular parent consultations to monitor progress and development strategies.
Residential Trips
Year 6 pupils participate in a week-long residential experience to develop independence and teamwork. Trips include educational visits to historical sites and outdoor activity centres. These experiences build confidence, social skills, and curriculum connections through immersive learning beyond the classroom environment.
Sports Programmes
Award-winning sports provision includes daily physical activity, competitive inter-house events, and community partnerships. We maintain School Games Platinum status through extensive intra- and inter-school competitions. The curriculum develops fundamental movement skills alongside team strategy and personal fitness, with opportunities for specialist coaching.
