It allows the children to take further pride in and responsibility for our new provision, which is demonstrating our core values.”

The unit, which has been redecorated and carpeted has a wealth of updated resources for children to use. Staff report that pupils are enjoying their new rooms.

Deputy Head Teacher and Foundation Teacher, Laura Childs said, “We can’t wait to welcome people in to see the area and are taking bookings for tours for new families at the moment. It is rich in resources for children and a happy and stimulating place for children to learn and flourish. I feel so proud showing new families around.”
