A confident start to learning
An early-years and primary pathway for the first steps in school learning.
Nursery to Class 5
The years from Nursery to Class 5 help children become comfortable with learning and build the foundations they will use throughout school. At this stage, curiosity, communication, early literacy and number sense, and steady learning routines all matter.
A stage with a purpose
Give children a welcoming start to school and help them build confidence as learners, one age-appropriate step at a time.
What students build
The learning priorities change with age and class. These are the foundations this stage is designed to develop.
Build early language
Encourage listening, speaking, vocabulary and early reading and writing skills as children progress through the primary years.
Make sense of numbers
Grow familiarity with counting, number relationships and the early mathematical thinking used in later classes.
Explore and communicate
Support curiosity, observation, questions and the confidence to share ideas and take part in learning.
Settle into school routines
Help children become more comfortable with classroom expectations, learning with others and taking small steps towards independence.
