Poppy Class

In Poppy Class we have 11 pupils. Poppy Class have a mixture of Nursery, Reception and Year 1 aged pupils. We follow the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and adapt it to the individual needs of each child, as well as incorporating the Brooklands Red Pathway Curriculum. 

At this early developmental stage of the children’s learning, it is important to nurture their play, preferences and choices. We use a range of communication methods such as gesture, body language, verbal communication, Symbols, Object of Reference and Makaton signing.

Within Poppy Class we are settling children into a new learning environment. We focus on providing building blocks to learning; by engagement through Communication, Regulation and Personalisation. Staff nurture and facilitate the child’s desire to learn through play, as well as provide adult led learning opportunities that widen their world. 

We have 1 teacher, 2 Lead Teaching Assistant's, 6 Teaching Assistant's (p/t and f/t) and 1 Midday Supervisor.
