Welcome to Glenhurst School
We welcome children from Reception age (4½ to 5 years) up to Year 3 (8 to 9 years). We are open for 50 weeks of the year, which includes three educational terms per school year. As we are open year round, school children may access before and after school care and holiday club.
Glenhurst School & Nursery covers all aspects required by the Foundation Stage Early Learning Goals and the National Curriculum.
The Foundation Stage, covering the period from when a child starts in Pre-School until the end of their Reception year, is divided into 6 areas of learning, full details of which can be found on our Early Years Curriculum page.
The National Curriculum is divided into the core subjects of:
- English, Mathematics, Information Communication Technology (I.C.T) and
Religious Education (R.E)
And the foundation subjects of:
- Art, Design and Technology, Geography, History, Music and Physical Education
These subjects form the statutory curriculum, and our planning ensures comprehensive coverage. Many subjects are taught through a cross-curricular topic based approach. Where appropriate there is subject specific teaching. Teachers plan work together to ensure equality of opportunities, continuity and progression. Glenhurst School also gives children the opportunity to learn French, teaches swimming, music and recorders and provides visits and outings to the theatre, concerts, museums, historical sites and places of interest relevant to each class’s topic work. There are specialist peripatetic teachers for music including individual piano and violin lessons, French, Spanish, I.C.T and drama.
Please see the School Curriculum page for full details of the National Curriculum core and foundation subjects. |
