Building Strong Foundations For Exceptional Futures 
At St John Rigby, we believe preschool is where strong foundations are built—foundations that shape a distinctive Early Years' experience where curiosity is ignited, individuality is celebrated, and a lifelong love of learning begins.
The Experience
An Inspiring Start: A carefully considered 'Exploration Space' sits at the heart of our approach so that every moment invites creativity, curiosity and discovery – laying the foundations for a confident transition into primary school and beyond.
The Child
Every Child, Uniquely Valued: Each child is recognised as an individual, with their own strengths, interests, and potential. Through tailored learning experiences, we support every child to flourish with confidence and purpose.
The Curriculum
Thoughtfully Designed Learning: Our rich curriculum nurtures independence, concentration, and imagination. As children explore new ideas with gentle guidance, their natural interest evolves into a lasting passion for learning.
The Environment
A Place to Belong: Warm, welcoming, and secure, our setting ensures children feel safe, happy, and supported. When children experience a strong sense of belonging, they thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.
The Partnership
Working in Harmony with Families:
At the heart of everything we do is a close and collaborative partnership with families. We believe strong relationships are key to every child’s success. By working together, we ensure each child receives the care, guidance, and encouragement they need to grow, develop, and succeed.
The Promise
Foundations for Life : Underpinned by our school mission, we foster a holistic approach to children’s development. From early literacy and numeracy to confidence and resilience, we lay strong foundations for a bright and successful future, nurturing reflective and resourceful learners who are ready for the next stage of learning and beyond.
