This is an example. We know our children well and tailor learning and routines to meet their individual needs.

• 8:45 am - We start with a story! Stories are at the heart of our learning in preschool, helping to spark imagination and language skills. After this, children are free to investigate and explore activities in both our indoor and outdoor classrooms.
• 9:45 am – We pause for a healthy snack and milk. This is a great opportunity to learn about routines, hygiene, and good manners in a relaxed setting.
• Mid-Morning – After snack, we enjoy a short, interactive phonics session (around 10 minutes) using Fred the Frog. Find out more about our phonics scheme 
• Late Morning – Children can choose an activity that interests them or work with an adult to extend their learning in a focused way.
• 11:45 am – For those staying all day, lunch begins. Preschool children join Reception pupils in the school hall for a sociable lunchtime experience.
• Afternoon session can include:
  • Independent reading
  • Maths activities
  • Nursery rhymes and music
  • One-to-one time with a preschool practitioner

School lunches

School lunches can be ordered through ParentPay - an online payment service. An example menu can be found on our school meals page.

Wildlife Wednesday

'Wildlife Wednesday' takes place weekly with reception children. Our wildlife area has an outdoor classroom, pond, mud kitchen and a real campfire for the children to explore. Forest School activities are carefully planned and each week, children will be introduced to a new skill, often linked to the Sustainable Development Goals; we want the children of our future to understand how to take care of their immediate environment in practical ways. Children often get muddy during forest school sessions; therefore, we suggest bringing wellies and a waterproof coat or an all-in-one for forest play. Children love immersing themselves in the natural area and we do not place restrictions on them - the more mud the better!

Uniform/book bag/water bottle

Our uniform is an important part of our school identity and helps children feel proud to belong to Cutnall Green C of E Primary and Preschool. Please make sure your child comes to school in the correct uniform.

Children should also have a sun hat and sun cream in warm weather, and a coat, gloves, and other warm clothing during the colder months.
