We have Ballet club run by an external provider, Grace and Poise, and Yoga club, run by Beams Academy. These are held during the lunch break and are provided free of charge.
We take the children on regular outings in the local area and our end of year trip to West Wittering beach is a highlight.
We have an annual visit from Jambs Owls and the children enjoy learning about owls and holding them.
Although it is not guaranteed, many of our children go on to apply for Reception class at our neighbouring Gatton Primary school.
We have a robust transition process and work closely with Gatton primary to ensure that our children settle quickly and thrive in their new environment.
We share a common ethos and children from Al Risalah Nursery enter Reception with a firm foundation of the values both settings encourage.
