The Early Years at Knightwood

At our school, we believe that the early years are a magical time in a child’s development—a time filled with curiosity, exploration, and discovery. Our curriculum is carefully crafted to nurture and inspire each child, giving them the best possible foundation for learning and growth.

Our approach combines a balance of structured activities with open-ended exploration, to ensure there is no barrier on what children can achieve. Through play, practical activities, and meaningful interactions, children build essential skills in communication, language, physical development, and personal, social, and emotional wellbeing. We create rich, engaging learning experiences that foster creativity and resilience while celebrating each child’s unique potential.

We lay the groundwork of early reading and mathematics through engaging storytelling, phonics teaching and problem-solving activities designed to make learning accessible, relevant, and fun. We also make full use of our outdoor learning spaces to encourage hands-on experiences that connect children to nature and the world around them while building problem-solving and teamwork skills.

We value close partnerships with parents and carers, and our team works alongside you to support each child’s journey. We’re here to answer questions, celebrate achievements, and ensure your child feels safe, valued, and ready for the adventures that lie ahead!
