Foundations for Success
Good foundations are key to development, growth, and education. Excelsior School's EYFS and Primary give your child the perfect start to their schooling career. Our Staged Learning Environments engage children from 3 months up to 16 years with interactive spaces, purpose-built classrooms, and a dedicated education and development team.
Our commitment to EYFS/National Curriculum rests on three important goals: to NURTURE our early years/primary students, SUPPORT growth and development, and help them PROGRESS to the point where they are equipped to handle schooling and socializing.
Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
In Nursery, we aim to ensure that children are socially and emotionally confident and happy during their formative school years. By engaging children's curiosity in a meaningful and developmental way, we reinforce good social traits and learning practices. Our small class sizes allow us to tailor the National Curriculum to individual needs and keep children engaged throughout the school day.

Our Teaching Approach
Our experienced team will regularly be trained each year to further enhance their knowledge and skill set. This training benefits our children immensely, as we are better placed to educate, understand, and provide early intervention. Staff training is specific to the needs of the children with whom the staff work.
We believe in continuous professional development to ensure our teaching methods remain innovative, effective, and responsive to the needs of each individual child. This commitment to excellence in teaching is what sets Excelsior apart and ensures the best possible outcomes for our students.
