We are lucky enough to have strong links with West Haddon C of E Primary School. This enables the children to become familiar with the new surroundings and routines. We work closely with the Reception teachers to ensure that we are working towards common goals, such as developing independence. This allows a greater amount of time to be spent on teaching at school if the children are able to go to the toilet, change in / out of PE kits, do up coats, put on scarves, shoes, hats etc by themselves.
