Facilities
EYFS
In Reception at Park School for Girls, we provide a stimulating, nurturing environment where each child’s needs are catered for through a balance of structured activities and free-play learning activities, both indoors and outdoors. Developing children’s social skills is a major part of the Reception curriculum and they firmly believe that learning should be absorbing, challenging and plenty of fun! The majority of learning is taught through a range of topics, such as Super Me, and Our Wonderful World in order to give the children a context and purpose for learning.The skills necessary to become a proficient reader are given high priority. The School follows the Twinkl Phonics Programme. They use the Collins Big Cat reading books supported by many well-known reading schemes to develop reading skills. Plenty of activities are given to prepare children for more formal work in English and Mathematics in Year One and Two. Throughout the week the pupils in Reception also receive specialist teaching in Music, PE and French.
Physical Education
Physical Education is a thriving department and the hub of school life. Pupils from Reception to Year 11 participate in a wide range of activities ranging from creativity, team sports and individual sports. Physical development is about improving skills of coordination, control, manipulation and movement. It helps children gain confidence in what they can do and it enables them to feel the positive benefits of being healthy and active. Effective physical development helps the children develop a positive sense of well being. Physical education develops pupils’ physical competence and their ability to use this to perform in a range of activities. It provides opportunities for them to be creative, competitive and to face up to different challenges as individuals and in teams.
