Meet the Staff
Miss J Raine – Room Leader
Mrs A Hay – Teaching Assistant
Mrs N McMullan – Classroom Assistant
Our 2-year olds are welcomed into a purpose-built room with stimulating and exciting resources. Staff are highly trained and ensure the curriculum is tailored to each individual child. We know this can be a difficult time for the children to separate from their parent/carer, therefore during a home visit staff will plan an individual transition process for each child to ensure they are happy and settled at Nursery.
The Nursery session runs on a morning only and the times are 8.45am to 11.45am.
During your child’s time in Nursery staff focus on developing the key skills of:
Mathematical Skills
- Naming colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue.
- Sorting objects by colour/size/shape.
- Using objects to build and create
- Learning to count out loud to 5, then 10.
Literacy Skills
- Developing language, learning new words.
- Learning to listen to short stories.
- Joining in with nursery rhymes and action songs.
Personal and social skills
- Building friendships – taking turns, sharing, listening to one another.
- Developing self help skills – putting on own coat, toileting.

Christian values are fostered within our friendly school and we were rated ‘Outstanding’ in our most recent Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS). We have links with Darlington Deanery and the Durham Diocese.

Today we also say goodbye to Mrs Rossington, who will be on maternity leave until October. We all wish her very well and look forward to meeting Luigi (if you were in assembly, you will get the joke).
Happy Friday everyone.
This workshop is happening in the Year 4 class straight after school tonight and will last no longer that 30 min. Please, please attend to ensure your child is best supported for the Year 4 Times Tables Check.
Please note that there will be a covering school crossing patroller on site at Fenby Avenue from tomorrow morning.
