Early Years Foundation Stage
Our Early Years Foundation Stage programme nurtures children aged 3-5 through play-based learning that develops core skills in literacy, numeracy, and social interaction. We focus on individual development while building foundational knowledge across all curriculum areas. Our practitioners create stimulating environments that encourage exploration and confidence-building.
Special Educational Needs Support
We provide tailored support for pupils with special educational needs through our dedicated SENDCo and targeted interventions. Our inclusive approach ensures all children access the curriculum through personalised learning strategies and specialist resources. Regular assessments guide our adaptive teaching methods.
History Curriculum
Our history curriculum inspires curiosity about the past through chronological learning and local history studies. Pupils explore significant events and figures while developing critical thinking skills to analyse historical evidence and multiple perspectives.
Phonics Teaching
We implement the Essential Letters and Sounds programme to systematically teach phonics from Reception through Year 2. Daily sessions build decoding skills and reading fluency, supported by regular assessments and targeted interventions for pupils needing additional support.
