Woolenwick Infant and Nursery School, in Stevenage, draws inspiration from the pre-schools of Reggio Emilia in Northern Italy. As an ARTSMARK GOLD school we INSPIRE LEARNING through the Arts; our provision and practice is creative and reflective.
Our children are given opportunities to follow their own line of enquiry in their cross-curricular topic learning. The children are free to express their ideas and present them in a variety of ways. The adults guide the children through open-ended questioning, developing the children’s deeper thinking skills and keeping the children at the heart of the learning process. This ensures they are motivated, captivated and immersed through lengthy projects. Our children’s questions and ‘big ideas’ shape what we offer.
