We aim to make you and your child feel very much part of the Good Shepherd family.

Reception is an extension of your child's pre-school experience, whether it be at our Nursery School or another provider. This means a strong emphasis on learning through fun and play, with a careful, gradual progression towards more formal 'lessons

Our classrooms have been designed especially for our younger children. We have a large classroom with a fantastic shared area, allowing more space for a variety of different activities. The children have their own toilets and a covered, well-equipped outside learning area to continue their learning.
