Every child and family who joins our  setting will have their own knowledge and experiences that will link
to their culture and wider family. This might include: languages, beliefs, traditions, cultural and family heritage, interests, travel and work.
Research shows that when children and families’ cultures are valued, both the child’s experience of learning and progress can benefit (Husain et al., 2018, p. 4 and Gazzard, E. 2018 in Chalmers, H. and Crisfield, E. 2019)

We believe  that exposure, not only to culture but also  to situations in which the children  might not have previous experiences of, is of paramount importance to their ongoing successes.

Gradually widening children’s experiences as they progress through school  is an important step in providing rich and engaging learning across the curriculum. We plan carefully for children to have progressively richer experiences in nursery and beyond. These include  trips to the local park, shops and visits to places of worship, museums, sports and music venues just to name a few. 

Extra-curricular Activities

At Crumpsall Lane we offer the children a range of activities outside of the normal  school day.  The clubs are changed on a half-termly basis to ensure that there is a variety of activities on offer, to  all year groups.
