EYFS & Key Stage 1

Acorns

Firm foundations and big imaginations, as young learners find their feet, their voice and their love of finding things out.

WELCOME TO ACORNS CLASS

A happy place to begin

Choosing where your child begins school matters, and in Acorns they could not be in warmer hands. Our Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children learn together in one small class, where every child is known, cared for, and given room to grow at their own pace.

Learning starts with play, songs and stories, and builds gently towards confident reading, writing and number as children move through the class. Friendships form, confidence blooms, and the foundations are laid for everything that follows.

Settling in, together
