The Foundation Stage
Kindergarten 3-4 years
Reception 4-5 years
We encourage children to work happily alongside each other promoting a strong self-image, self-esteem and respect for others.
Allowing children to learn through experience and play we provide an exciting and well-planned curriculum for the Foundation Stage.
Through play, communication, observation, planning, questioning, experimenting, testing, repeating, reflecting and responding to adults and each other, the children are provided with organised purposeful activities that engage them in the learning process.
- Music, Drama, Creative Dance and Physical education are taught by specialist teachers
- French is taught to all children from Kindergarten upwards
