Nursery school
Play, friendship and guided exploration help young children feel secure and ready to learn.
Starting school
For a young child, starting school is a big step. Nursery is built around belonging: familiar routines, patient encouragement and room to explore, express themselves and play with others.
Small moments build confidence: joining a song, sharing a toy, recognising a sound, asking a question, finishing a task alone.
Parents know their children best. When you enquire, tell us about your child’s interests and routines, and anything that would help us understand their move into school.
Growing in knowledge and confidence.
Language and expression
Stories, songs, conversations and simple questions help children find words and the confidence to share their needs and ideas.
Early number awareness
Counting, sorting, matching and spotting patterns introduce mathematical thinking through familiar objects.
Creative exploration
Drawing, colour, rhythm, movement and imaginative play give children different ways to express themselves.
Independence and relationships
Taking turns, listening, tidying up and looking after belongings build cooperation and responsibility.
Supporting this stage at home.
Build a consistent routine for sleep, school preparation and time to talk about the day. Encourage effort and curiosity as well as achievement, and tell the school early about any change or concern.
Before enrolment, ask about the class your child would join, current learning priorities, daily routines, uniforms, learning materials and any support they may need. Our admissions team will help you work out the right questions for the academic team.
