"Together We Learn"
At Banbridge Nursery School, we believe that children are competent learners with their own individual ways of learning and the primary role of education is to prepare children to be self-motivated, confident, respectful and resilient lifelong learners. Learning starts from what individual children know and can do and builds on this knowledge and these capabilities.
Our curriculum is flexible relevant and embedded in real-life experiences, particularly outdoors, in nature. Children have the freedom to follow their interests, to explore these further and to make the necessary adjustments too fit new learning with existing learning. We believe the role of the adult is to respond to individual children's abilities to choose, engage, think, experiment, explore and persist independently and in collaboration with others.
Our learning environment facilitates the reciprocal relationships and communication, between all members of the school community, that underpin successful learning and development in spaces where children feel safe, secure, valued and respected. All our learners, across the generations, are expected and supported to step outside their comfort zones to fulfil their potential; achieve their goals and to play an active and positive role in our community and wider society.
