Facilities
Creative Arts
At Educare Small School, we want our children to Experience a balanced curriculum that allows them to develop creatively and academically.Experience the Arts as a journey which inspires and excites. Develop the skills and knowledge necessary to develop as creative people. They consider the Creative Arts (art, music, drama and dance) to be as important as all other subjects in our curriculum, contributing to the good mental health, well-being and self-expression of our children.
Music
At Educare we have weekly music lessons with the fantastic Myrto. In addition, we can offer your children priority access to the Music Kindergarten at Colourstrings Music School (which can lead to learning an instrument when your child is ready). Together we share many of the same values, including a belief in the potential of each and every child, and a recognition of the importance of moving at the child’s individual pace.
Forest School
Forest School provides children with the opportunity to play and learn in an outdoor setting. It caters to a range of learning styles and is a flexible and adaptable approach to learning where children learn the important skills of independence, self-esteem, teamwork and problem solving. At Forest School the children are given the freedom to explore using all of their senses. It is a natural, safe environment where they can assess risk and engage in cross-curricular, educational activities.
Sen
They are an independent primary school. We welcome all children whose special needs are within our range of specialist skills and facilities; and who can effectively access the curriculum without unduly prejudicing the education and welfare of other children.Many children with additional needs thrive in our small, nurturing environment with the additional support we are able to offer to all children because of our small group numbers and individualised approach to teaching and learning (please follow the link below to our SEN Information Report for more details).However, we are not a specialist SEN school and some needs will be beyond our capacity

Things to note
Kindergarten Trips
It is crucial for Kindergarten children to experience the wider world. Across the school year, we have a number of field trips to support learning when doing the topic work. Recently, the Kindergarten have been to: Kingston Fire Station, Sainsburys, Bocketts Farm, Isabella Plantation, Garsons Farm, Allotment (Parkfield), Kingston Museum and Local Parks.
Hall Trips
For the Hall children, visits give access to further resources and learning around topics, such as through exhibitions. Actual experience is the easiest and quickest way for children to gain knowledge. Travel from Kingston station and small groups make such trips easy for us.
Events and Celebrations
Events and celebrations create a shared memory, give a structure to the year and mark a step to another level. In their different ways they all give a feeling of enjoyment and an energy which comes from the involvement of the children and the way they are received and supported by parents and other adults. The whole Educare community, children, staff, parents, families and friends come together for some of these events.
