In our Early Years we view every child as an individual, to ensure they reach their full potential. This is achieved through our bespoke curriculum where creativity and purposeful play opportunities are at the core of what we do. We capture the children's imagination and make their learning irresistible, encouraging our children to develop into resilient, confident, independent critical thinkers and problem solvers. This gives our children a solid foundation to build on future achievements as they continue their learning journey. 

Our Curriculum

Through planned, purposeful play, children are able to discover, practise and refine their skills in literacy and mathematics as well as find out about themselves and their environment. In a broad and balanced way, our provision ensures coverage of the seven areas of learning and responds to the needs and interests of all our children. At all times, we consider characteristics of effective learning which promote positive attitudes to learning, an enthusiasm for knowledge and the confidence to become successful learners.

These are:

Prime Areas

• Communication and Language
• Physical Development
• Personal Socials and Emotional Development

Specific Areas. 

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts and Design

These 7 areas are used to plan your child’s learning and activities. Children in the EYFS learn by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside.

Parents are very welcome, in fact actively encouraged to visit us prior to your child starting Nursery school. For more information please contact Mrs Dillon in the school office or email reception@ololprimary.co.uk for more details.

We wish to welcome you and your child to Reception and hope that the above information will be useful.
