Kindergarten and Reception

Early Years Foundation Stage at Weston Green School is housed in our purpose-built Early Years building, providing a safe and happy learning environment for children from the age of three years. Once a child joins us in Kindergarten, they are guaranteed a school place up to Year 6.

We acknowledge that each child is unique and we are committed to providing a quality educational experience for all our pupils, in an atmosphere of security, respect and confidence.

It is a key priority that our youngest pupils feel secure, happy and conﬁdent and that they soon develop into enthusiastic learners. Our full and balanced curriculum gently introduces children to school life and enables them to develop their own interests and skills in preparation for Key Stage 1. Pupils in Kindergarten and Reception enjoy regular Forest School sessions and plenty of other opportunities for outdoor learning.

Children can attend school from as early as 7.45am and can stay at school up to 6.00pm each day.
