IMPORTANT UPDATE:
From September 2024 we will not be able to offer two-year-old provision (Nursery).
We will be able to offer three-year-old provision (children need to be three by 31st August 2024) initially for three mornings a week.
Due to budget constraints and a civil service recruitment freeze from September 2024 Mount Pleasant Primary School will be running two class bases with Mrs Stobart (Headteacher) and Mrs Summers (Assistant Headteacher) offering bespoke teaching support and intervention.
The two class bases are as follows:
- Commerson Class base with Mrs Hill as teacher for our FS1, FS2 and KS1(years 1 and 2) children.
This is a class of 13 children with LSA support. In addition, this class base will be supported by Mrs Stobart who will lead some EYFS (FS1 & FS2) teaching sessions with further LSA support. These EYFS sessions will initially be three mornings a week.
- Orca Class base with Mr Moore for our KS2 (years 3, 4, 5 & 6) children.
The majority of the children will be in years 3 and 4 (our usual mixed class split). Mrs Summers will provide bespoke teaching and intervention support across the school.
Our current Early Years Provision:
Early Years: When children turn two they are able to start their education in N1 in the Nursery class, with a qualified nursery practitioner. Unfortunately, this is not currently full time provision due to staffing. Two year olds are offered the chance to attend a number of sessions each week. The sessions we are able to offer will be discussed on application for a place. These sessions are subject to change and are reliant on having the appropriate staffing structure in place.
Foundation Stage 1 is for FS1/ N2 children (aged 3 at 31st of August but turning 4 during the year).
Children in FS1/ N2 are able to stay for lunch in school. Children in FS1 can attend the following sessions:
Mornings: Monday- Friday 8:45-11:45 or Monday – Friday 8:45-1300
Afternoons: Monday, Tuesday , Wednesday and Thursday afternoons 1300-1500
Foundation Stage 2 is for children aged 4 at 31st August and is often termed ‘Reception Year’.
Foundation Stage 2 children who have reached compulsory school age attend 08:45 to 15:10
All N1 and N2 children are admitted to EYFS on a fee paying basis and children in the term after their third birthday are entitled to 15 hours free child care which is provided each morning between 0845 and 11.45
