Starting School September 2026

EYFS Area.jpg"Children get off to a good start in the early years. Staff have high expectations and children do their best each day to live up to them. Children experience a broad curriculum. They enjoy the challenges that staff provide during lessons each day. They are keen to show what they have learned. Well established routines help children to develop positive attitudes to learning. They listen attentively to adults and engage in purposeful conversations. These good habits stay with them throughout their time at the school." OFSTED 2021
