Early Years at Sebright
Children enter Sebright Nursery at age three. The younger children attend afternoon sessions from 12:30pm - 3.30 pm and the older children attend morning sessions from 9am-12:000pm.
We believe strongly in learning through play and equal value is given to child initiated and adult directed activities.
This continues into Reception classes. A very successful phonic programme has led to our children starting to become competent readers before they begin formal education in Year1. Our Foundation Stage profile results have compared very favourably with other schools in Hackney.
Key Stage One
In recent years Sebright has introduced a Smooth Transition programme that has enabled our children to settle quickly and easily into formal schooling. Individualised targets have meant that each child's educational and emotional needs are addressed.
In Year 2 these individualised targets continue. Towards the end of Year 2 children complete the National SATs tests.
Great value is placed on developing the whole child and with this in mind school trips to enhance science, the Arts as well as Literacy and Numeracy are encouraged.
