Local Schools and Providers
We are extremely proud of our strong working relationship with local schools and early year providers, particularly Shadwell Primary School. Working with other providers ensures that we continue to review practice and share ideas. Our partnership with locals schools allows children an easy transition in to reception class and 'big school'. The partnership with Shadwell School allows all of our pre school children to experience school through Gingerbread afternoons where we play in class, meet teachers and experience 'big school'. We use the school hall for our productions, play in the school grounds and eat school lunches. Recently we were invited to join school for Fair Trade Breakfast where we sat in the school hall and were part of the noise and activity of a school day. Such experiences are invaluable and give our children confidence and security for when they move to their next stage of learning.
