A Wonderful Learning Environment

We are incredibly proud of the environment we have created for our pupils, which encourages curiosity and exploration. We offer all our facilities and resources and encourage pupils to engage in learning activities of their choice with increasing independence.

The classrooms and the outdoor playgrounds include specific learning areas with educational materials to stimulate all senses: sand, water, playdough, construction material, books, technology and musical instruments. Every activity, whether initiated by children or teachers, leads to pupils’ academic, social and personal development.

In EYFS, we focus on three prime areas of learning and development:

  • Communication and language
  • Physical development
  • Personal, social and emotional development

Additionally, there are four specific areas of learning:

  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the world
  • Expressive arts and design

However, we value all areas of learning and development equally and understand that they are interconnected, depend on each other and should not be taught in isolation from one another.

Pupils’ attitudes to learning are excellent. They are ready and eager to learn, take pride in their work and are keen to improve their performance. Collaborative work throughout the school is a real strength where pupils are very enthusiastic to help each other and to develop their knowledge and understanding. In the early years, attitudes to learning are excellent. Children are positive about what they are learning and take a genuine interest in what is happening in the classroom. The enthusiasm and dedication of the teaching staff is central to this.
