This is a very special time in your child’s life and we are truly honoured to be part of it. We will make sure that your little one’s first experience of Hillary Primary School is a magical and exciting one! We look forward to getting to know your child and developing a meaningful partnership with you this year. Please know that we are a team, working side by side to guide your child through this exciting adventure. At Hillary Primary School we provide a learning environment which gives the children many varied opportunities, to help them to learn and develop to the best of their ability. We are a fully integrated unit which provides for children aged 3-4 years, through a play based curriculum allowing children to develop at their own rate and in their own way. Every day is filled with opportunities for discovery, creativity, laughter, and learning. Whether children are making new friends, exploring the outdoors, sharing stories, or engaging in imaginative play, we celebrate their achievements and support them as they grow in confidence and independence. We are delighted to welcome you to our Nursery family and cannot wait to share in all the wonderful moments, achievements, and memories that lie ahead. ### The Staff The staff that work in this year group are: #### Miss Maiden ##### NA Teacher and EYFS Year Group Lead #### Miss Grewal ##### NB Key Worker #### Mrs Stewart ##### NC Key Worker #### Mrs Williams ##### Assistant Headteacher ### Attendance & Punctuality It is vital that your child attends school and that they are on time every day.
