Lower Junior
The children in Lower Junior build on the foundations they have secured in their early years
As children progress from The Nursery years, the concept of play evolves and our curriculum offers the children the opportunity to explore their abilities.
Our children work hard, but still enjoy learning through play, children excel in subjects such as Outdoor Education, where children learn to build a shelter and safely light a fire. Enrichment opportunities including woodland walks, bikes and trikes and outdoor play. These activities also offer public speaking and practice of core skills which build confidence across the curriculum and in each individual.
Whilst in Lower Junior, children are guided from their first steps of formal schooling in Reception to the first year of key stage 2 at the end of Year 3.
Young children are innately curious and passionate about learning. They enjoy healthy competition and collaboration. Our purpose is to ensure we nurture their creativity and resilience.
