Due to an unexpected boiler breakdown, there is currently no heating in the school building. For health and safety reasons, the school will be closed today, Monday 5th January, and tomorrow, Tuesday 6th January 2026. We are working urgently to resolve the issue and we will provide updates as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Mrs. McCormack, Headteacher.

Step into Quality in the EYFS Award

We began our Step into Quality Award journey in March, 2024 when the foundations of our new EYFS classroom had not been dug! There process involved several days of training, visits from the LCC early years advisers and lots of hard work and self evaluation. 

The process looks at the following aspects: 

Indoor and outdoor learning environments

Routines

Interactions

The keyperson approach

Partnership with parents

Leadership and management

Learning and development 

Transitions

 

A file and PowerPoint presentation were submitted at the end March and we were delighted to receive the award in April 2024. The PowerPoint which gives an overview of our journey can be accessed below.
