Early Years Foundation Stage
Our Early Years Foundation Stage nurtures children aged 3-5 through play-based learning that develops core skills in literacy, numeracy, and social interaction. Qualified practitioners follow national curriculum guidelines while adapting activities to children's interests. The programme prepares young learners for formal education through structured routines and creative exploration in our purpose-built early years environment.
Key Stage 1 Education
Key Stage 1 education for children aged 5-7 focuses on developing fundamental skills in English, mathematics, and science through engaging classroom activities. Our experienced teachers use differentiated instruction to meet individual learning needs while maintaining high academic standards. The curriculum includes specialist teaching in music, physical education, and religious education within a supportive learning environment.
Special Educational Needs Support
We provide comprehensive support for children with special educational needs through individual education plans and targeted interventions. Our qualified SENDCo works closely with class teachers and external specialists to ensure appropriate accommodations. The school maintains accessible facilities and employs trained support staff to assist children with diverse learning requirements across all curriculum areas.
After School Clubs
Our after-school clubs programme offers diverse enrichment opportunities including sports, arts and crafts, coding, and academic support.

The clubs aim to develop new skills, foster friendships, and provide supervised care for working families requiring extended childcare.
Collective Worship
Daily collective worship forms an integral part of school life, incorporating Christian values, prayer, and reflection. Weekly services at St. Bartholomew's Church and special celebrations throughout the year reinforce our faith-based ethos. All children participate in age-appropriate worship activities that promote spiritual growth and understanding of different beliefs within our inclusive Christian environment.
