Outside Area The outside Area is an extension of our classrooms and we open it up all day everyday regardless of the weather. We have a big ‘messy area’ where trays are filled with sand, water, pasta, rice, corn flour, glitter and lots of other fun sensory textures. We do have spare pairs of wellington boots, but if you would like to send some in for your child for the winter months that would be great.

Tapestry Tapestry is an online learning journal. It was designed to fit within the EYFS framework to allow staff to create a complete record of a child’s progress. It can be thought of as an online scrapbook with observations, recordings, assessments, pictures, comments and video’s of your child’s progress and activities.

Thank you for your understanding. Photographs We may have some children in the school who would be at serious risk if their photograph was to appear on social media, so we ask that you help us to protect these children by not taking any photographs or videos during any of our assemblies or concerts. We will make time at the end of these events when you are welcome to take photographs of your own child. Please do not post any photographs to social media sites as other children may be in the photographs and their parents may not wish for their child’s picture to be posted online or they may be one of the pupils at risk. Thank you for your understanding.
