Pre-Prep

The Early Years Foundation Stage staff at Finborough is a team of people whose task is simply to educate children in a safe, caring environment, which allows the child to learn at their own pace, where play is at the centre of their learning journeys.

Children at Finborough are fortunate to learn in beautiful surroundings. In Early Years we see the benefits of ensuring that the child learns inside and outside the classroom. We have a wonderful play area where the children spend part of their day. This enables them to understand that their learning process is continued outside and they have the freedom to express themselves in a way that is not limited by the classroom.

Each week the children have a whole afternoon dedicated to our Forest Schools’ programme. We have two staff trained in Forest Schools, at Level 3 and Level 2. The children look forward to this session every week. Forest Schools activities enable the child to develop a variety of skills including social interaction, turn taking and problem solving. The children do not see their experience in our outside space as learning but more an opportunity to truly be themselves. Often, we find the quieter children in the classroom are the more vocal ones in the forest

We welcome visitors to Early Years at any time, as well as to our open days, so please do contact the office to arrange a visit.
I look forward to meeting you.

Deputy Headteacher (Pre-Prep)
