Seesaw

At Parkview Primary School and Nursery, we use Seesaw as an easy way to communicate your child's learning with you. Seesaw allows us to share your child's work and progress in one easy to use app. 

Parents and carers play a vital role in their child’s learning. It is therefore important that they are included in each step of their child’s learning journey.

Admissions

Early Talk Boost

We are an Early Talk Boost school. This is a targeted programme aimed at 3-4 year old children who need help with talking and understanding words. Most importantly, the programme helps to boost their language skills to narrow the gap between them and their peers. The programme aims to accelerate children’s progress in language and communication by an average of 5 months after 9 weeks.

Children who are selected to take part in the programme will attend three sessions per week, each lasting 15-20 minutes delivered by either Mrs Gascoyne or Mrs Lucas. The sessions include activities that cover the foundation skills in speech, language and communication that children need for learning and understanding new words, as well as having conversations.

Our Early Years Curriculum

Your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through 7 areas of learning and development.

Children should mostly develop the 3 prime areas first. These are:

• Communication and language;
• Physical development; and
• Personal, social and emotional development.

These prime areas are those most essential for your child’s healthy development and future learning.

As children grow, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in 4 specific areas. These are:

• Literacy;
• Mathematics;
• Understanding the world; and
• Expressive arts and design.

Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage learn by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside.
