Facilities
Nursery
Nursery represents an important stage in a child’s development where they establish the foundations of their learning and memories are created.The daily routine at Magic Tree ensures all children enjoy a wide range of activities using both the indoor space and outdoor environment.Based on the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, each child’s development focuses on Communication, Physical and Social skills, before moving onto Numeracy and Literacy.Creativity is nurtured through a diverse selection of materials and resources and children’s understanding of themselves and the world around them is developed.
Pre Prep
Pre-Reception, Reception, Years 1 and 2 make up the Pre-Prep department at Belmont Grosvenor School. As part of a larger school, our children are fortunate to benefit from excellent facilities, equipment and specialist staff, whilst enjoying close relationships with experienced class teachers and teaching assistants.The children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework and benefit from a well-planned and resourced curriculum. This is enhanced by specialist teachers in music, drama, French, Forest Schools, PE and swimming.Reception, Years 1 and 2 are based in well-equipped classrooms in Nidd, with a computer suite attached. Pre-Reception is close by in the Stables block.

The gym and School Hall has the benefit of an updated stage with lighting and sound system, and is fully-equipped with both portable apparatus, as well as fixed ropes and bars.The site is the location for a specially-designed orienteering course, and is perfect for cross-country running.
Library Facilities
The main school library and dedicated Pre-Prep library, play a key role in the development of our Literacy programme and help foster a love of literature and learning.To help encourage reading and research skills, they give the children plenty of opportunity to spend time in the libraries, which are secure and attractive places for children to browse and work.Both of these, together with the class libraries, are accessible to all members of the school community and are equipped to support and enrich the skills of reading for pleasure and independent learning across the curriculum.
