Pre-School
Welcome to Summer Term in Pre-School
We are now in our final term of Pre-School and are excited for another fun-filled term of learning and exploration.
We will continue to strive to make your child’s first experience in education special, continuing to develop their relationship with their teacher and learning support assistants, who will support them and ensure that their emotional and academic needs are met daily.
As always, our aim is for your children to become happy and confident learners and to carry their love of learning throughout their life.
Meet the Team
Miss McLeod Marsh – Class Teacher

Summer Bookshelf
Our Summer Bookshelf is filled with high quality, engaging texts and is very much inspired by identity – developing our own identity by understanding the similarities and differences we share with one another and understanding who we are.
Through this term we will encourage the growth of new skills and resilience, as well as developing our confidence to share our thoughts and ideas. We will also begin getting ready for the next step in our education stories – the ‘Starting Reception’ chapter…
