Our Nursery Student Council gives our young learners the opportunity to share their ideas, build confidence, practise responsibility and understand the value of teamwork.
We are incredibly proud to see our little leaders stepping forward and making a positive difference in their school community.

Our Literacy Workshops provided parents with practical guidance on supporting their children’s communication, language and early literacy development at home. The sessions explored age-appropriate strategies, including sharing stories, encouraging conversations, using songs and rhymes, and creating simple opportunities for children to develop their language and literacy skills through everyday play and interactions.

For FS2 and Reception, there was a particular focus on early reading, including Jolly Phonics, recognising and producing letter sounds, and developing children’s ability to blend sounds together to read simple words. Parents were introduced to practical ways of reinforcing phonics and reading skills at home, while continuing to nurture a love of books and stories.

Our Internet Safety Workshop encouraged parents to think about the digital experiences children are exposed to from an early age. The session explored practical considerations around screen time, age-appropriate content, parental guidance and creating healthy technology routines at home. Following the parent poll, the workshop was made available as a recorded session, giving families the flexibility to view it at a time that suited them.

September was filled with stories, imagination and excitement as we celebrated Literacy Week! Our children enjoyed dressing up as characters from their favourite stories and taking part in a variety of story-based activities. Through listening, retelling, exploring books, songs and rhymes, children discovered the joy of stories and language.

Our Reception classrooms were transformed into exciting learning environments, with areas converted into a jungle and displays filled with interesting facts to encourage curiosity, discussion and exploration. These engaging spaces provided opportunities for children to immerse themselves in stories while developing their vocabulary, communication and understanding of the world around them.

The children also had the opportunity to learn about the Holy Qur’an, its importance in our lives and the special care and respect we should show towards it. A special thank you to our parents for their creativity and effort in preparing the children’s costumes, which added so much excitement and colour to the week.
