In Nursery, learning takes place through purposeful play, exploration and hands-on experiences. Children are encouraged to investigate, make choices and develop confidence as they grow in independence. To find out more about our Curriculum, please click the link below:
We hope you and your child will be very happy here. Our aim is to help your child prepare for the world of education, and we value working in partnership with you, as you know your child best.
If you ever wish to discuss anything, please feel free to speak to us. A member of the team is always available at the start or end of each session.
You can also email the school office at office@stjosephs.rbksch.org or the class email page on nursery@stjosephs.rbksch.org and we will be happy to help.
Curriculum Maps
Nursery Uniform for Boys and Girls

Please ensure that every item is clearly labelled with your child’s name.
Unlabelled items can be difficult to return. We always do our best to match belongings with the correct child, but labelling helps ensure that everything finds its way back home safely.
Learning can sometimes be messy. Please send a complete change of clothing in a bag and make sure your child’s name is clearly written on the bag. Extra clothing will be kept at school in case it is needed.
Jewellery is not permitted at school.
Only small stud earrings may be worn.

Mary and the Guardian Angels
For All Saints’ Day on November 1st, we learned about our class saints, Mary and the Guardian Angels.

Did you know?
Mary was chosen by God to be the Mother of Jesus. She loves and cares for us like a mother cares for her children and always wants to help us grow closer to God.
God also gives each of us a guardian angel. Our guardian angel watches over us, guides our thoughts and actions, and helps keep us safe each day.

Please ensure that your child brings their own labelled water bottle to school every day.
There is no need to send a snack, as fruit is provided during the morning and afternoon sessions.
Rucksacks are not required.
Please ensure that your child brings only a book bag to school.
