We are thrilled to introduce a brand new addition to our school community — our very own Preschool! This exciting development marks the beginning of a new chapter, allowing us to nurture even younger learners and support their early development!
Our nursery is situated within our dedicated EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) Unit, which has been thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of early years children. The self-contained indoor and outdoor spaces provides a safe, stimulating environment where children can explore, play, and learn together, fostering strong communication and social skills.
Our experienced EYFS team is specially trained to create a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to learn. We believe that a caring atmosphere is fundamental to helping children develop confidence and a love for learning. We work closely with parents to ensure that each child’s individual needs are met, building strong partnerships to support their growth.
All areas of learning — including communication, physical development, literacy, numeracy, and social skills — are carefully planned and supported, ensuring children make excellent progress. Our goal is for every child to leave the unit with outcomes that are typically above the national average, setting a strong foundation for their future education.
Please get in touch and arrange a visit to see our wonderful preschool in action. We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our school community!
We proudly launched our new preschool provision within the school, made possible by additional funding that has helped us create a fantastic new resource for our community.
Children can attend the Preschool from the term following their 3rd birthday.
We participate in the government’s 15-hour and 30-hour free entitlement schemes, allowing your child to attend our Preschool for up to 30 hours per week at no cost.
Any extra hours beyond this can be paid for if needed. Additionally, we offer convenient ‘wrap-around’ care through our onsite Breakfast and After School Club, providing flexible support for busy families.
Child’s birthday before: Start Dates: Funding for three-year-olds starts at the beginning of term after their third birthday.
