In Sycamore, we believe in creating a safe, supportive and stimulating environment where children feel confident to explore, ask questions and take on new challenges. We place a strong emphasis on play as a vital part of learning, recognising its essential role in helping children make sense of the world around them.

Our aim is to support all children in becoming resilient, independent and full of curiosity. These qualities are at the heart of our class ethos and are encouraged every day through meaningful experiences, imaginative play and opportunities to explore their own interests. This is embedded in the use of our  Learning Toolkit, which helps children develop key skills for life and learning. These include:

Participation • Leadership • Curiosity • Empathy • Independence • Risk Taking • Resilience • Open-mindedness

Everything we do is rooted in our school motto:
Curious, Courageous, and Kind.

These three simple words reflect our belief in the importance of nurturing the whole child – supporting not just their academic progress, but their emotional wellbeing and personal growth too.

We look forward to sharing this exciting and important stage of your child’s learning journey with you.
