Along with our fantastic grounding in fundamental education areas, Hamilton Colleges Nursery also has a range of specialist lessons and additional learning to further complement what children learn in a classroom setting.
The children participate in a music and movement session with our specialist music teacher in the Junior School Music room.
The children enjoy a weekly Physical Education session with our specialist PE teachers. This session takes place in our well-equipped school games hall, extends the children’s gross motor skills and encourages cooperation and teamwork.
Children have the option of attending weekly French and weekly Spanish lessons. These classes are delivered by a Junior School modern language specialist and are supported by Nursery staff by conversing with the children in informal ways throughout the week.
The children visit the school library each week. During their visit, the children are able to browse and choose a book to take home. They also enjoy storytelling with the School Librarian and spend time discussing their stories.
The Nursery children join the Junior School children twice a week for an Assembly. In Assembly, we are together as a school community to promote positive behaviour, develop and understand our Christian Ethos, and celebrate achievements.
We are fortunate to have two members of staff qualified to deliver the Forest School Programme. This takes place once a week in a risk-assessed area of forest on the grounds of Hamilton College.
