Early Years Outdoor Quality Mark

Congratulations! to our Early Years team.  

We are very proud to have achieved Lancashire's Step Outside Quality Mark for Early Years in December 2023.

Comments from a Lancashire Consultant who carried out the asssessment included;

"The school has a rich outdoor environement full of irresistable resources to encourage play and exploration, and practitioners engage in sustained shared thinking in order to extend and challenge children's learning".

"Real experiences from the natural world are utilised to develop children's interests and stimulate natural curiosity through the year".

"The outdoor area was completely overhauled and the area is now an effective and exciting outdoor learning environment.  The wonderful wider grounds are also being utilised more effectively and the children have acces to rich stimulating outdoor spaces.  This has impacted on children's learning and devlopment"
