Nursery

Please see our curriculum newsletter, home learning grids, letters and any extra class information below. Remember to  follow us on Twitter (@HighwoodSchool) where we will be sharing the excellent learning that happens at Highwood.

The Department for Education has published a guide for parents, produced by Sheringham Nursery School and Children’s Centre – ‘What to expect in the Early Years Foundation Stage’ (formerly ‘What to expect when’) which guides parents through what to expect in their child’s development. It aligns with the new Development Matters to help practitioners engage with parents about their child’s development. Please click on the link below to view this useful document.
