Nursery, Reception and Pre Prep

The Nursery, Reception and Pre-Prep accepts pupils into the Nursery from three years old.

The aim of the school is to provide a happy, secure environment where the children feel valued as individuals. Their academic, social, emotional, creative and physical needs are nurtured from the beginning. An excellent pupil:staff ratio ensures plenty of individual attention and a caring atmosphere prevails. High standards of behaviour are expected and children are helped to achieve these. Parental involvement is encouraged and meetings are held and reports issued on a regular basis. All forms perform a Christmas play to which parents and carers are invited. Our College chapel is the venue for the Harvest celebration. Children take an active part in all of these events and parents are welcome to attend. Children bring home a weekly newsletter with accounts of recent events.

Educational visits are arranged in conjunction with topics studied. During this academic year trips have been divided into separate areas each half term, focussing on Liverpool being Capital of Culture. The children have visited the Art Galleries, Museums, Historic Buildings and Places of Worship in Liverpool. Visitors are also encouraged to come into school and work with the children throughout the year.

The children are encouraged to think of others and have recently raised over £2000 for the Hargreaves Centre- the NSPCC centre in Liverpool. At Christmas we fill shoeboxes with toys, toothpaste, soap and other items for Eastern European children. We also donated toys to the Radio City Toy Appeal. Harvest sees produce going to local care homes.
