School life

Happy, busy, ordinary days

Between lessons there is laughter, play, art, sport and prayer. This is what a normal week looks like for our youngest learners.

Special days

Dress-up days, face paint, birthdays and end-of-term celebrations are part of the year. They are simple, joyful and easy for families to take part in.

Friendship

Children are taught, gently and repeatedly, how to include others, apologise, share and be a good friend.

Christian life

Prayer, songs and simple Bible stories are part of the week, in a way that suits young children.

Creative activities

Painting, cutting, building and making, often outside, and always with their work proudly displayed.

Sport and movement

Running, balancing, ball skills and games that build coordination, confidence and teamwork.

Outdoor learning

Lessons in the garden and under the lemon tree, where counting, sorting and observing come alive.

Play and imagination

Dress-up, pretend offices, shops and telephones, where language and social skills grow quietly.

Sport and play

Ball skills, running games and balance work happen outside every week, in the whole class and in small groups.

Birthdays and celebrations

Birthdays, civvies days and end-of-term treats are marked simply and happily, so every child feels remembered.
