It is a large, bright and stimulating room that is attached to the Reception classroom in the school. Pre School is managed by a full time, qualified teacher and teaching assistants for fifty weeks of the year and is open from 7:30 am to 6 pm. The aim of the Pre School is to create a nurturing and stimulating environment that will facilitate the smooth transition from nursery to school. We pride ourselves on delivering the best opportunities in preparation for school, whether it be the local school or Greenbank Preparatory School. The Early Years Foundation Stage During your child’s time in Pre School, we aim to prepare children for school by offering a broad, balanced and structured play-based curriculum guided by the statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage. We provide a safe, caring and happy learning environment which focuses on developing early literacy and numeracy skills, communication and language skills and social and emotional wellbeing, cultivating creativity and curiosity. Each child is allocated a Key Worker who will monitor and record their progress and achievements. Learning through Play Pre School is well resourced and is large enough to provide multiple provision areas that allow the children to engage in role play, sand play, mark making and creative activities. There are many opportunities for the children to develop their ICT skills through the use of a computer and Interactive White Board. The children also participate in weekly dance and music sessions with specialist staff and in the summer PE sessions with the school games teacher culminate in an Early Years sports day.
