We use the school hall twice weekly for PE sessions. We use the library once a week in small groups to encourage our love of reading. We also use the school field regularly for outdoor learning. We regularly change our days to ensure all children have the opportunity to engage with these sessions.  

Children in pre-school are outside in all weathers to play and learn. We ask you to provide spare clothes and weather appropriate clothing e.g hat, gloves, warm coat in winter and sun hat, suncream in summer. Please provide a pair of wellies for your child to keep at preschool as we use these year round. 

Please name all items of clothing/shoes sent in to pre-school. 

Our Curriculum 

Our curriculum is centred around the unique child, we recognise all children learn and develop at their own pace and we celebrate each child's individual strengths. 

We look forward to working with you as we support your child to learn and develop in their time with us at pre-school. 

Gemma and Amy will communicate additional messsages and information via Tapestry, our online learning journal system.
