What the school offers its staff
We are exceptionally proud to offer our continuous provision model for children in
Reception and Year 1. Our Reception children enjoy a stimulating learning environment with
a dedicated shared learning space, courtyard and outdoor learning area. They can choose to
learn outside or inside and can self-select from a wide range of exciting and engaging
activities and resources. In Year 1, children learn in a similar way - selecting their own
resources to apply and develop what they have learned with their teachers. The continuous
provision model helps children to gain valuable skills and to develop independence and
social interaction.
In Years 2-6, children enjoy a stimulating and creative curriculum. Our experienced teachers
plan lessons which are engaging and memorable while developing pupils’ knowledge, skills
and understanding. We take a very creative approach to learning and often have curriculum
themed days, as well as utilising our outdoor environment to enhance hands-on-learning
experiences for our pupils. In Years 4 and 6, children have the opportunity to take part in
residential visits which provide them with new experiences, encourages independence and
enriches the curriculum.
We have a playground for our Key Stage 1 children with apparatus and a castle, a Key Stage 2
playground for children with outside exercise equipment, a football pitch and a trim-trail.
We also have a large, shared school field where the children enjoy school sports days and
events. Our grounds also give us the opportunity to take the classroom outside - there really
is so much space!
We have a fabulous sensory garden, learning hub, many dedicated spaces for small group
teaching and learning, a bubble room - which is a space for children with sensory needs, a
beautiful art gallery, a full hygiene room facility and so much more.
