Our Early Years provision welcomes children aged 2, 3 and 4 years, with children starting Reception in the academic year in which they turn 5.

We believe that every child learns best when they are happy, engaged and inspired. Our teaching is built around children's interests, creating a nurturing, exciting and safe environment where they can explore, discover and learn through play. For Nursery children, we offer an optional uniform of a purple school polo shirt and black tracksuit bottoms.

Through our curriculum, we aim to ensure that every child feels valued, supported and encouraged to flourish. We nurture caring, confident and curious learners who develop a love of learning and a positive outlook on life. By the time children leave Sankey Valley St James, we want them to have the knowledge, skills and personal qualities needed to thrive, achieve their full potential and be the very best they can be.
