Our Under 3’s provision provides free early education for eligible 2-year olds and admits 16 children on a part-time basis, where children attend for a total of 15 or 30 hours per week; either as 5 morning sessions from 8:45am until 11:45am or 5 afternoon sessions from 12:15pm until 3:15pm or 4 days a week for those eligible for 30 hours.

Our Nursery provision provides free education for children after their 3rd birthday until the end of the academic year in which they have their 4th birthday.  There are 60 part-time places available in our Nursery.  Parents have the option of 5 morning sessions from 8:45am until 11:45am, 5 afternoon sessions from 12:15pm until 3:15pm or 2.5 days which are either all day Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning (8:45am – 11:45am) or Wednesday afternoon (12:15pm – 3:15pm) and all-day Thursday and Friday.

Our ethos and philosophy are grounded in the belief that pupils’ social and emotional well-being is just as important as academic subjects. Our school uses the Thrive Approach which supports adults to help children and young people become more self-assured, capable and resilient, enabling them to thrive in their world.  Many children and young people face challenges that can knock them off course and we provide the understanding and help to get them back on track.  Every child needs to feel that they belong, that they matter, and that they are valued for their unique qualities.  This will also ensure they make the best academic progress possible.
