Darling Class
Darling Class is a wonderful, happy and nurturing environment, where the children settle quickly and thrive. In the spirit of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum our approach is a holistic one, with our priority being the social and emotional well-being of the children in our care. Being with others, in a supportive and nurturing environment, the children at Stanton quickly make friends as they engage in social play and practise skills of sharing, turn-taking, developing feeling of empathy, as well as improving their communication and language skills.
We believe that children learn best through play and so learning in Reception is presented in fun, inspiring and motivating ways that capture the children’s interests and enthusiasm. Activities and enhancements to the learning environment reflect the spontaneous, child-initiated interests of our pupils, ensuring our skilled educators can capture 'teachable moments' and fluidly extend their learning in the moment.
We are very proud of the self-confidence, kindness and good humour that the children leave Darling Class with.
