ABOUT US

Our school is a Community Infant School serving the area of Wyke Regis. The school caters for an age range of three to seven years. The school’s nursery class offers part time nursery education. There are places for up to twenty-six children at each nursery session. Currently each child is offered three sessions a week.

The nursery is a self contained unit with its own entrance, a large classroom, a kitchen area, toilets and a secure outdoor play area. In addition to the nursery there are nine class bases for the Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children. Each base has a classroom, an annexe for small group activities, and a large art and craft area. All classes have an outside play area as well as sharing extensive grassed and hard surface play areas.

The school’s accommodation also includes a large hall, library and music room. Each class base contains a small ICT suite. The school is adjacent to Wyke Regis C.E. Junior School and the two sites are linked by a gate from our school playground.

Wyke Regis Infant School and Nursery promotes high achievement and learning for life by working with children to:

• have high self-esteem
• respect others
• care for the environment
• attain high standards in all areas of the curriculum
• communicate effectively
• enjoy learning
• develop enquiring minds and a spirit of curiosity
• be able to work independently and collaboratively

In the Nursery and reception years in particular we aim to work closely with parents, sharing information and building on what children know, understand and can do.

The curriculum is everything children do, see, hear and feel, both planned and unplanned.

On admission to the reception year the children are put into class groups of up to a maximum of thirty children. The children usually remain in these class groups as they move through the school. Occasionally the school makes the decision to reorganize a year group.
