Inverarity is a small rural school in which each child is treated very much as an individual. Each teacher takes a personal interest in every pupil in the class and this attitude produces a caring “family” atmosphere.

A child’s education starts in the home and is continued as a partnership between home and school. It is essential that we have your co-operation in order to work together to give your child the best possible chance of success.

We consider it extremely important that the school creates a learning atmosphere where all aspects of the curriculum contribute to produce a well-balanced education. All we do should enable our children to develop in every possible way for the world they live in. The fact that each child is allowed to develop at his or her own rate, in a secure atmosphere, helps to make this a happy and successful school.

In the nursery, we aim to provide a happy, stimulating environment with emphasis on the natural all round development of your child. We aim to provide an environment where children can grow in confidence in themselves and become independent with feelings of high self worth.

Play is the basis of the nursery curriculum and we aim to provide an enjoyable, secure and stimulating environment where each child can develop social, physical and intellectual skills at his/her pace.

There are carefully planned and constructed areas within the nursery from which your child will gain valuable learning experiences, such as

baking, painting, craft work, wood work, home corner, sand and water trays, musical activities and book corner. When children show an interest in various topics these will be further provided to enhance their natural curiosity.
