Early Years

The Early Years is a large unit consisting of 29 reception children, 28 nursery children who attend either a morning or afternoon session and 16 two year olds. Children in reception are split into four ability groups for Read/Write Inc.   Nursery children are split into groups for phonics and maths activities and other adult directed activities. We offer children a wide range of multi sensory activities which cater for individual learning styles. Our approach is a balance between play - child initiated and planned as well as teaching skills such as reading, writing and mathematics.

Reception - Miss Thornbery manages this unit.  Reception is taught by Miss Rushforth, she is supported by Miss Stafford and Miss Gilmour.

Reception children do PE on Wednesdays.

Nursery and 2s - Miss Thornbery manages this unit with support from another teacher Mrs Pater.  Children are also supported by Mrs Branney, Mrs Roberts, Mrs Jackson, Miss Adair and Miss Brereton.
