FOUNDATION STAGE - Nursery and Reception

Children in the Foundation stage of their schooling (Nursery and Reception) follow a curriculum that is appropriate to their needs. This curriculum "feeds" into the national schemes and is based on six areas of development: Personal, Social and Emotional, Creative, Physical, Knowledge and Understanding of the World, Language and Literacy and Mathematical. Early emphasis is on play and interaction with adults in a purposeful and structured environment.

Other activities are made available to our pupils at lunchtimes or after school. Recent clubs have included Badminton, Chess, Football, Hockey, Netball, Running, Tai Chi, Keep Fit and Traditional Dancing. Older pupils are also offered places at Ingleton Middle School clubs when available. We join in many events with other schools and the children regularly socialise and compete at Cross Country Runs, Outdoor Education Days, Cricket Tournaments and Football matches. The Headteachers can also provide information about village events and clubs available to youngsters out of school hours.
