Build strong foundations in literacy, numeracy and communication skills that will serve as stepping stones for future learning. We recognise that the early years are crucial for establishing core competencies that underpin all subsequent education.

Connect learning to real-world experiences through practical, hands-on activities, educational visits, and meaningful links to our local Surrey community and beyond.
