At Beaconside Primary & Nursery School we offer a curriculum rich in wonder and memorable experiences. We work hard to provide a stimulating environment that provides exciting opportunities, promotes challenge, exploration, adventure and a real love of learning.
It is our intent that all children develop physically, verbally, cognitively and emotionally in an environment which values all cultures, communities and people. We aim for our children to be confident and independent and to believe in themselves and interact positively with others.
We understand that play is an integral part of learning, and this is at the heart of our early year’s curriculum. We recognise that children have a thirst for knowledge and should be provided with opportunities to engage their inquisitive minds. Therefore, we provide vibrant continuous indoor and outdoor provision, that follows the children’s interests to support learners in investigating and developing their skills. We believe that the correct mix of adult-led and child-initiated play ensures the best outcomes for pupils.
Warm and positive relationships between staff and children, consistent routines and strong relationships with parents are key.
We recognise the crucial role that early year’s education has to play in providing firm foundations upon which the rest of a child’s educational journey is successfully based.
