Our day begins with registration for our pupils in their classroom, with their class teacher and classmates. We have three assemblies each week, although Reception only attends our Friday assembly as this is our ‘Proud’ assembly, when one child from each class shares an achievement they are proud of.

Although the exact lessons vary by class and age group, the mornings generally involve teachers working with groups of children on literacy and mathematics. When not working with the teacher or assistant on guided activities, children are able to independently explore a range of resources and activities within the classroom, for example making use of the construction, creative, role-play, writing or enquiry areas. Pupils have a weekly library slot, where they are able to explore the books before selecting one to take home for a week.

Our morning break gives pupils a chance to interact and enjoy free play in our Pre-Prep outside area.

Pupils have lunch in our nearby Dining Hall, which serves a delicious and healthy selection of food for pupils to try out. There is 30 minutes for lunch and 30 minutes for playtime, which may include pupils taking part in co-curricular activities, such as Chess or Gardening Club.

Again, exact lessons vary by class and age group, but afternoons generally revolve around project work, which is supported by relevant trips (we aim to take at least one trip per term). During the afternoon, children also have opportunities to continue exploring independent activities within the classroom when not working with an adult.

Children have twice weekly sport lessons (plus swimming once a week from Year 1 onwards) and weekly lessons in drama and music. These lessons are taught by specialist teachers. Every other half term, children have Forest School once a week making use of a dedicated outdoor space within the school grounds.

Home time, although some pupils stay for after school clubs.
