Curriculum:
Our vision is to create a secure, stimulating, child-centred and challenging atmosphere where each child can develop to their full potential. Nursery children learn together in an environment which is developed around the children’s interests. We pride ourselves on being an exciting and engaging place to be - encouraging our children to be independent learners through a range of practical activities.
Children access their environment freely and are supported to learn primarily through a variety of play and real-life experiences. Their development is tracked through detailed, daily observations and child-initiated interaction. Some of this information is then transferred into your child's personal learning journey on Tapestry - a diary of information and photographs. We use these to record individual interests and plan the next steps of your child's learning.
P.E. is taught by coaches from Carlisle United on Tuesdays and Thursday - please send your child to school wearing their P.E. kit on these days.
Parents as Partners:
We recognise the importance of parents and carers in a child’s developing stages. As a primary care provider, you are your child’s first educators and we greatly value any input, opinions and information you can share with us about your child’s learning and progress. To support this, the Tapestry Learning Journal is used within the classroom to record your child’s learning and achievements during school. We also encourage you to contribute to these by making small observations at home, especially those related to targets your child might be working towards.
We ask you to support with your child’s learning in lots of practical ways through play and conversation, and by reading to your child as often as possible.
