Children move from the Nursery to Reception at the beginning
of the school year in which they reach their 5th birthday

The classes are arranged according to the ages of the children
and are all of mixed ability. In 1998 all children are in
classes of a single age year group.
The number of children on roll in each year group in September1998
was:
Nursery 30 part-time
Reception

Class teachers are responsible for both the academic and pastoral
needs of their own class. They use a variety of teaching methods,
choosing the method most appropriate to the class and the
subject they are teaching. In all classes there will be group
work, individual work and teaching of the whole class where
appropriate.
Each class teacher holds information sessions for parents
at the beginning of the school year, when classroom routine,
teaching styles and approaches are explained and general curriculum
issues are discussed.
Admissions
All prospective parents are most welcome to visit the school
by prior arrangement. The school holds Open Days when everyone
is welcome to look around the building and see the classes
at work.
Children starting in Nursery are invited to Open Sessions
with their parents/carers at the beginning of the school year.
During the summer term there are two parents' evenings; one
for parents whose children are due to start in the Nursery
and one for parents of either children moving from Nursery
to Reception or those who will join us for the Reception year.
