Little People, Big Adventures YMCA

Every day is an adventure at the YMCA. From action packed days at our Nurseries in Shanklin and Newport to beach adventures and community groups, there is fun and learning at every turn. We’ll even set them off on their Daycamps journey as they progress through to school. We offer fantastic childcare options during the school holidays for children in Reception through to 12-year olds.

YMCA Winchester House in Shanklin, holds both our Nursery and Daycamps settings. A stunning clifftop location overlooking Hope Bay, it offers large grounds and easy access to the beach, making it an ideal place for children to create lasting memories and friendships as they enjoy a wide range of activities.

Don’t just take our word for it; here’s feedback from one of our Shanklin Nursery parents:

“The setting is beautiful, the rooms are clean and full of activities but what makes this nursery so amazing is its professional, kind, caring and inspirational staff. I have never met a nicer group of people and my children are lucky to have them as such a large part of their lives” (Aug 2018)

Lanesend Primary School Cowes – Armistice Day

Armistice Day in school last Friday, the children made poppies to commemorate 100 years since the end of World War One. Each poppy has the name of a soldier from the Cowes area who tragically lost their life in the war and they are displayed at the entrance to our school.

Lanesend Primary School is bright, colourful, fun and optimistic; just like everyone in it.

We are an open primary school, providing education to children in our local community of Cowes and welcome others from around the Island.

We are very lucky to have a highly skilled and dedicated team. We take pride in seeing ourselves as a 21st Century learning centre in which our children and staff are supported and encouraged to enjoy their work and take every opportunity to develop and maximise their skills. At our school we are striving to be outward looking, seeking strong parental partnerships in helping foster our children’s development. We are proud of the positive relationships that we enjoy with them and the warm feedback we receive.

The school have an Open Day on the 29th November  www.lanesendprimary.co.uk

Priory School of Our Lady of Walsingham

OUTSTANDING is the word OFSTED used about Early Years provision at Priory School of Our Lady of Walsingham – or what we call our “Cabin School”. Housed in a purpose built block, with a fenced off and secure outside play area based on the “Forest School” model, pupils enjoy a tremendously rich programme of specialist tutors, sports, events and performance.

Their contribution to the Harvest Festival brought applause from all those in St Mildred’s Church earlier in October!

But the best thing to do is to listen to what the Ofsted inspectors said this year to get a flavour of the exceptionally high quality of education Cabin School children enjoy

 

Children make an excellent start to their learning in Reception. They make outstanding progress due to first-rate teaching and an inspirational curriculum

Bursaries and grants make the Cabin School far more affordable than you may think. Come and pay us a visit! You will be surprised!

We encourage all parents and students who wish to consider joining us to view our school in situ. This will give you the opportunity to tour the school and see the students busy in their classrooms. This will allow you to ask questions and find out what is being learnt in the different subjects.

Also for any potential new student we offer ‘taster days’ which are free with no obligation. This will allow your child(ren) to experience a day in the life of a ‘Priorian’ and get a taste of what it is like to be a student at our school, by taking part in all of the lessons from a typical day.

Please contact the school office to discuss further: (01983) 861222 or email us at mail@prioryschool.org.uk
