Supervised play gives Nursery and Kindergarten children room to move, build friendships and practise cooperation.
SPACES THAT SUPPORT LEARNING

A school day moves between discussion, practical work, play and performance. OLS brings these experiences together through spaces designed for different ways of learning.

Spaces for first discoveries.
Young children learn through movement, imagination, conversation and purposeful play.
The story room
Books, puppets and storytelling resources help children listen, imagine and find the confidence to express their ideas.
The Fun House
Activity areas encourage children to explore materials, make choices and learn to work alongside one another.
ASK · INVESTIGATE · UNDERSTAND
Learning through discovery.

IDEAS INTO PRACTICE
Make. Create. Perform.
Practical and creative subjects give students different ways to express what they know.
Art and craft spaces
Students experiment with materials and techniques, develop their artistic skills and share work through school displays and exhibitions.
Music rooms and auditorium
Music spaces offer opportunities to explore instruments, while the auditorium brings the community together for performances, assemblies and celebrations.
Home economics and workshop learning
Activities in nutrition, textiles and woodwork connect practical skills with planning, care and an appreciation of how things are made.
Agricultural education

MOVEMENT & TEAMWORK
Space to play. Confidence to participate.
Playgrounds and physical education activities encourage movement, teamwork and participation across the school stages. Inter-class tournaments give students opportunities to apply their skills and support one another.
A visit is the best way to understand how the school’s spaces support your child’s stage. Contact the school to discuss a visit and the facilities currently used by that year group.
