Nursery (FS1)
Welcome to FS1!
Please see this short video of our new Nursery environment.
We strive to help each and every child to become an independent, confident, caring individual who is able to reach their full potential in all areas of development. This learning process takes place through a variety of stimulating experiences and activities which build on prior and new learning. We will provide a broad and balanced curriculum which uses a variety of teaching methods. Our curriculum is centred around quality interactions and play, which have a fundamental role in the learning and teaching process. We provide opportunities to explore, experiment, investigate, observe listen and reflect.

Phonics
We follow the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds phonics scheme at Richard Bonington. In the first part of the Autumn term we concentrate on developing children's speaking and listening skills and lay the foundations for learning letter sounds through Nursery Rhymes. The emphasis during Phase 1 is to get children attuned to the sounds around them and ready to begin developing oral blending and segmenting skills. From Autumn 2 we teach letter sounds following the scheme.
