Welcome to Phase 1
Hello, my name is Mr Nuckley and I am Phase 1 Leader - which is our EYFS department.
This Phase consists of Little Buds (our 2-year-old provision), Little Learners (our 30-hour offer provision), Nursery and Reception.
Our Daily Routine:
Throughout Phase 1, the children have lots of fun learning through play. We have a very vibrant, exciting and awe-inspiring curriculum through exciting and innovative opportunities for both indoor and outdoor learning through play.
In Little Buds, Little Learners, Nursery and Reception we deliver a child-initiated curriculum that motivates and engages all of our learners who each have their own creative ideas to find out about!
At the end of each term we would like you to come in and celebrate your child’s learning and achievements and we would also really appreciate your feedback and support with some of the fantastic homework projects you get involved with.
Workshops:
We will keep you updated with any upcoming workshops.
Nursery have weekly stay n' play sessions.
Reception have a weekly come and read session where you are welcome to share a book with your child in their class.
Uniform:
A polite request. Uniform in Nursery and Reception is red joggers, polo shirt cardigan or jumper. We have noticed that some of our girls begin wearing slips and dresses after a few weeks. The curriculum doesn't lend itself to dresses, therefore, we ask that you adhere to the agreed uniform for your child's comfort.
Assemblies:
A pastoral assembly is held every Tuesday for Reception along with a Celebration assembly where certificates, attendance awards and a Class Champion cup is awarded each week. The Nursery will join the weekly assemblies when they are ready. Meanwhile, daily collective worship is led by the teachers and the children in our classrooms.
Bush craft/Forest School:
We are lucky to have a specialist in bush craft who works alongside our teachers to deliver exciting and energetic Forest School Lessons.
Spanish:
We are a Spanish Centre of Excellence. Therefore, our youngest children in Nursery begin learning Spanish through fun games and songs.
