FOUNDATION STAGE (NURSERY & RECEPTION) - Age 3 to 5 years
In the Foundation Stage the six early learning goals form the basis of the curriculum and the children benefit from specialist teachers in French, Music and PE. Although the Nursery retains a clear identity of its own, the children are very much a part of the whole school and share in a whole school assembly once a week.
