2024 Graduation
Wednesday 17th July was our Pre-School's 'Class of 2024 Graduation' and what a great celebration it was! Parents/Carers were invited to this special occasion where each child was celebrated for how much they have flourished during their time at Greyfell Academy. We are so proud of our Pre-Schoolers and wish them the best of luck as they embark on their next adventure at First School!
Preparing for School &
Partnerships with Schools
Throughout the child's time in the Pre-School room they will be preparing for school by developing
many transferable skills such as:
- Pre-Phonics
- Forming different relationships with peers
- Managing their self care such as putting shoes and coats on
- Developing their communication skills
- Learning to form letters of their name
- Encouraged to find their name card
- Pen control
- Letter and sound recognition
We have strong transitions to all schools and a great working partnership with teachers and welcome them in to visit before the children go to school.
Teacher Testimonial
"As a Reception teacher, I have found working alongside Greyfell Academy a very valuable experience. Transition to school for children from the Academy is smooth and well-prepared for. Gemma and the other pre-school staff are knowledgable and professional. I find visits to the nursery to meet the children incredibly useful as staff know the children in their care so well. They share key information with teachers to ensure all children make their best start when they arrive at school. Greyfell Academy children start school having thrived at nursery and this prepares them well for the next stage of their lives. It is a privilege to see children so happy in their nursery environment." (Teacher,24)
