Our School

OUR

SCHOOL

The Early Years are based in a vibrant, stimulating and inviting environment where every student feels safe, secure and truly at home during their first years at school. During their time in Nursery and Reception, the children develop socially, growing in confidence and enjoying every aspect of school life. This is just the start of an incredible learning journey through the Primary School.

As the children move on from the Early Years, the transition into the National Curriculum of England 2014 in Year 1 is very carefully managed in terms of both academic and pastoral provision. Elements of our Early Years approach are adopted and continue into Year 1 and Year 2, providing the children with familiar learning experiences, supporting them in the move to the next stage of their education whilst introducing some more formal aspects of learning within the classroom.

Life in Years 3-6, based in the Jubilee Building is busy, varied and engaging. Children are encouraged to make the most of the wide range of opportunities presented to them both within the classroom and beyond in the form of our extensive and celebrated Co-Curricular programme. Expectations in terms of self-motivation, independence and self-organisation increase as children mature both as young people and reflective learners. They are provided with opportunities to develop as leaders through our established Student Leadership programme and are challenged to continually aim high and make sustained progress by taking responsibility for their own learning.

By the end of Year 6 our children are more than ready for their transition to Secondary School and take with them many fond memories of their time in the Primary School.
