Old Hutton School provides a play-based curriculum in a nurturing and motivating environment which fosters learning and development, leading ultimately towards the Early Learning Goals. Creative, exciting and carefully planned activities encourage children to be independent in their learning and find effective ways of working. This effective learning is embedded in everything we do and our knowledgeable staff model these characteristics on a daily basis.
Our well-equipped classroom with its wonderful continuous provision is enhanced by outside space in which children can explore, experiment and create. A weekly Woodland Explorer session also enriches our topic work, promoting understanding of the environment and the seasons and the development of social skills, risk taking and problem solving.
Our Nursery and Reception class lays the foundation for future learning for your child’s journey through school and beyond. We firmly believe in the all-round development of our pupils: ‘Learning for life in all its fullness’.
