In Nursery and Reception, each child has a dedicated Key Worker who builds strong, trusting relationships with both the children and their families. This personalised approach ensures every child feels seen and supported from the very start. As they progress through Pre Prep, children learn in small, stable groups, guided by a Class Teacher and Teaching Assistant—often familiar faces from their Nursery days—providing continuity and stability during these formative years.
Personal, Social, and Emotional Development (PSED) is one of the Prime areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage. To support this, regular circle times in Nursery and Reception encourage children to identify and express their emotions. These sessions also teach valuable strategies for managing feelings.
This nurturing support continues throughout Pre Prep, where children benefit from regular PSHE lessons and responsive circle times to address any challenges that arise. Our values are further embedded in daily interactions and supported through engaging assemblies that bring the Pre Prep community together.
Our overarching philosophy is beautifully captured by the simple but powerful school rule that every child knows by heart: Be Kind, Be Kind, Be Kind.
