Developing the children's confidence and social skills is key to our mission at St Paul's, as is making sure they enjoy their time at pre-school. The wide variety of indoor and outdoor play on offer enables them to acquire new talents and explore new interests.
We can change the set-up of the hall (illustrated above) to allow for a wide range of activities, although it usually features a home corner, a library area, craft tables, a dressing-up cupboard, musical instruments, a "Small World" area, a construction mat and a varied selection of games, puzzles and toys and indoor PE equipment.We have a table for maths and literacy, a computer and lots of time for singing, making music and cooking.

Please wear comfortable, washable, easy-to-change clothes to pre-school. Always bring a coat, wellies and waterproof trousers, and make sure that they are all named. A bag is required to hang on your peg, and this needs to contain slippers/crocs for indoor play, spare clothes and hat/gloves/suncream, depending on the weather.
I trained as a primary school teacher in Argentina, and my training and early practice years were spent looking into and developing a philosophy of teaching, considering why educate, why not just teach. It was a bit of a shock when I moved to the UK, over twenty years ago, and realised that I could not fit into the primary system here!
