Learning FoundationsFoundations that support confident learners

Every child’s first experience of school at Barrow Hills is joyful and rooted in play. Playing is fundamental to every child’s learning and we aim to inspire our children to feel excited about learning from their very first day with us.

The Early Years framework is the basis for all our teaching and learning, but our bespoke curriculum extends learning much further with an expansive co-curricular offering. Sport, French and Music are taught by specialists, in addition to Forest School which is just one part of the children’s outdoor activities in our natural classroom environment.

Small class sizes ensure every child is well supported, with daily activities shaped around individual interests. This results in children having regular opportunities to share their successes, whether through show and tell, artwork, or performances.
