In Nursery & Pre-School and Reception our aim is for children to learn through play and discovery and the curriculum is designed to meet the criteria outlined in the EYFS framework.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The teaching of reading is a priority in our school and our standards are very high. Children are introduced to phonics in Nursery & Pre-School and this programme continues into Reception where the children quickly learn to blend sounds to read words.\u00a0<\/span>Great emphasis is placed upon the enjoyment and understanding of the written word.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n In Years 1 and 2, the school\u2019s curriculum broadly follows the requirements set out in the new National Curriculum. Within this we have the flexibility to provide an enriched educational experience which is wider and deeper than that prescribed. All year groups have discrete lessons in literacy and numeracy but science and humanities subjects are sometimes integrated into topics in younger years.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Sub Pages” module_class=”lc-sub-page-grid” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_cta title=”Pre-School” admin_label=”Pre-School” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ background_enable_color=”off” background_image=”https:\/\/www.lancingcollege.co.uk\/prep-worthing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/lpw-wraparound-care.jpg” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.lancingcollege.co.uk\/prep-worthing\/learning\/nursery-pre-school\/” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_cta title=”Reception” admin_label=”Reception” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ background_enable_color=”off” background_image=”https:\/\/www.lancingcollege.co.uk\/prep-worthing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/lpw-admissions-sm.jpg” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.lancingcollege.co.uk\/prep-worthing\/learning\/pre-prep\/reception\/” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” alt=”Admissions” title_text=”lpw-admissions-sm” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_cta title=”Years 1 & 2″ admin_label=”Years 1 & 2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ background_enable_color=”off” background_image=”https:\/\/www.lancingcollege.co.uk\/prep-worthing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/lpw-years-1-2.jpg” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.lancingcollege.co.uk\/prep-worthing\/learning\/pre-prep\/years-1-2\/” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Quote Carousel” module_class=”lc-quote-carousel” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ module_class=”owl-carousel” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Quote 1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The forest school is well used, giving children opportunities to explore and to learn about nature and their natural surroundings.<\/p>\n ISI INSPECTION MAY 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pre-PrepIn Nursery & Pre-School and Reception our aim is for children to learn through play and discovery and the curriculum is designed to meet the criteria outlined in the EYFS framework.\u00a0 The teaching of reading is a priority in our school and our standards are very high.
