Services
Nursery Provision
Our nursery offers full-day care for children aged 3-4 years, following the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. Qualified staff provide structured learning and free play in a safe, stimulating environment. We focus on social development, basic literacy and numeracy, and sensory exploration through indoor and outdoor activities.
Primary Education
We deliver the national curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2, with specialist teaching in music, PE, and modern languages. Classes use mixed-ability and ability-grouped instruction, supported by regular progress assessments. Our trauma-informed approach ensures emotional needs are met alongside academic development.
SEND Support
Our dedicated SENCO coordinates individual education plans, sensory integration resources, and small-group interventions. We work with speech therapists, occupational therapists, and educational psychologists to support children with autism, learning difficulties, and behavioural challenges across all year groups.
Outdoor Learning
Weekly forest school sessions develop resilience and environmental awareness through hands-on activities. Children learn fire safety, tool use, and nature observation in our on-site woodland area. This approach builds confidence, teamwork, and practical problem-solving skills across all key stages.
Safeguarding Services
Our safeguarding team provides early help assessments, multi-agency coordination, and crisis intervention. We operate a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, with peer support programmes and anonymous reporting systems. Staff receive annual safeguarding training aligned with local authority protocols.
