Children learn through play
We use a structured approach to learning, but it is always delivered in a fun, playful and relaxed way. This helps children enjoy their day while building important early skills. Parents tell us they love how we balance planned activities with plenty of time to explore and be curious.
Children take part in a daily mix of activities such as outdoor play, art, music and movement, singing, storytelling and forest school.
Children benefit from our modern facilities and spacious indoor and outdoor learning areas. They also enjoy access to main school spaces such as the immersive room and large hall, giving them plenty of variety and room to learn through play.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, offering sessions that develop a wide range of skills and concepts. Throughout all activities, staff support play, social interaction and conversation while observing and assessing children to plan activities that best meet their needs. We also enrich learning by inviting visitors such as the police, fire service and ‘The Animal Man’ to share their experiences.
Visitors regularly tell us how impressed they are:
Children are kind, well‑behaved and confident.
We use our school’s STARS values in preschool, helping children learn about respect, kindness and trying their best. By the time they leave for school, they are well-prepared and ready for the next step in their education.
Exciting events throughout the year
We offer plenty of memorable experiences, including:
- Summer-themed weeks
- Sports Day
- graduation
- nativity
- Christmas celebrations
These special moments help children build confidence and create happy memories.
Uniform
We want children to feel part of our school community, so we offer the option for preschoolers to wear the same uniform as the rest of the school. This can help them feel included and support their transition into primary school. However, wearing a uniform is completely optional.
A uniform list is available on our Uniform page.
Term dates
Term dates, including inset days and bank holidays, are available on our Term Dates page.
