Children eligible for pre-school, nursery and reception class are welcomed into this area of the school to take part in play-based, motivating activities. We encourage children to make choices and develop key skills such as listening, speaking, concentration and co-operation. We really encourage the involvement of parents and carers in this area of the school.
This area is for pupils aged 5–11 who are able to leave the wards.
