Our creative curriculum inspires their passion for learning.
Within our outstanding Reception classroom and our wonderful outdoor learning space, our students follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. This includes a focus on Literacy and Mathematics, plus plenty of Expressive Arts and Design projects.
We balance the children’s academic endeavours with specialist PE classes (occurring twice a week) and there are plenty of opportunities to play and continue developing their cognitive abilities. Weekly language lessons allow the children to learn French, German and Spanish by focusing on one of them each term. Children also attend a weekly Forest School, Drama and Music lesson.
Children are guided and encouraged to lead the way to their own learning, by asking questions, working within a team and through challenge.
At Quinton House School, we build on the curriculum by shaping imaginative and informative lessons that enhance the children’s understanding of the world and develop their love of learning.
We strive to ensure all children are well rounded individuals, and allow opportunities for them to develop their character based on the fundamental values of honesty, integrity, global outlook and courage.
A more structured day
Where specialist teaching begins.
We gently ease the class into a more structured school day, led by an experienced qualified teacher. Literacy and Mathematics are taught daily in Reception, where children participate in a range of practical activities to support their learning.
Phonics is taught through the Read, Write Inc. (RWI) phonics programme, which provides children with the opportunity to practice their early reading and writing skills. Children also participate in a range of topics that focus on a story and enable the children to develop their understanding of the world and explore their creativity through art and design activities.
We balance the children’s academic endeavours with specialist PE and music classes (each occurring twice a week) and there are plenty of opportunities to play and continue developing their cognitive abilities. Children also attend Forest School once a week.
