Barry Primary & Nursery School

Welcome to our Nursery.  We are based in our own unit across the playground and are taught by our fabulous team; Justene, Kat, Nell and Allana. Mrs Shaw is our Early Years Foundation Stage Lead. Our Nursery is resourced with many natural materials and we offer a homely continuous provision.  We offer a child-led setting that is developed from the starting point of the children within it.We have a spacious inside classroom and a wonderful outside play area which includes a small forest-type space, a large sandpit and a pond, as well as our own climing apparatus and range of resources. We offer both 15 and 30 hour places for children aged 3+ and also offer a lunch club.  Parents have the option of paying for a hot meal at lunch club if required.  We welcome visits to our Nursery, please contact the school office for further details.

RECEPTION

In Reception at Barry Primary School we aim to continue the fabulous start children from both our nursery, and other settings, have had already and to welcome them into our Barry family.

Our Reception classes are based in the main building and our children are taught by Mrs Shaw and Mrs Jeffcoate and our fantastic team of support staff.  We offer a child-led setting that is developed from the starting point of the children within it.  As in our Nursery, we have a continuous provision and a natural-based environment.  We have 2 indoor classrooms, an outdoor area and a small nook as well as use of the main school playground, which we enjoy in all weather!

In Reception, we introduce phonics through Little Wandle.  We are a 60 place setting but, in order as much individual teaching and learning as possible, we split into 3 groups of 20 across the day.

For regular updates on our in-class activities, please visit our Seesaw pages.

We welcome visits to our school, please contact the school office for further information.
