Foundation Stage

We admit new children to our Foundation Stage classes in September. The children must be at least age 3. Occasionally we may admit younger children if there is a particular need.

The children come into Nursery for a morning session from 8.45 a.m. until 11.30 a.m. and Wrap Round Care runs until 3.15.

Places are limited to 26 children in Nursery and 30 children in Reception. Please contact us if you are interested in putting your childs name down. We can arrange a visit, so you can see our excellent facilities for yourself.

In partnership with parents and carers, we will provide the best possible start to our children's education.

Our team in Foundation Stage are Mrs Garvey, Foundation Stage Team Leader & Mrs Storey (Miss Davies). Mrs Savage & Mrs Darbyshire Senior Learning Assistants.

Children come into our Reception class (Foundation Stage) when they are age 4+. Admissions are normally September annually.

Parents and carers are invited into school before their child starts in Reception to gain an understanding of what is expected of their child at this stage.


Our teachers have learning support assistants working with them who help provide a varied and stimulating environment for the children.

We begin working on the National Curriculum Foundation stage in Reception. When children start in the Reception class they are assessed throughout the first year by their teacher. This is called 'profiling' and enables their teacher to understand what stage of their development they are at.
Parents and carers will get the opportunity to feed into the profile at parents days and evenings
