Our Pre-School

We are delighted to welcome you to the new Pre-School at Pluckley Church of England Primary School, an exciting addition that marks the very beginning of our "rich soil." 

Guided by our vision to nurture and cultivate every member of our community so they may thrive and live life in all its fullness, we believe our Pre-School provides the essential foundation for a successful educational journey.

We are thrilled to offer this nurturing environment, which ensures a seamless and effective transition from pre-school to primary school education, giving children the very best start to school life within our unique, family-oriented village setting.

At Pluckley, we beleive that "Together We Thrive," and this spirit begins the moment a child joins our Pre-School. Our provision is built upon high-quality care and purposeful, play-based learning that mirrors the enquiry-based approach found throughout our school. By fostering curiosity and a "thinking" environment from the earliest years, we aim to set our children up as life-long learners who are resilient, ambitious, and eager to explore.

Central to our Pre-School life are our Christian REFLECT values—Respect, Endeavour, Friendship, Leadership, Enjoyment, Cooperation, and Trust. These Christian values underpin everything we do, helping our youngest pupils develop a strong sense of togetherness and positive mental health. We pride ourselves on collaborating closely with parents and carers to support each child’s individual growth, ensuring that by sowing the seeds of confidence early; every child is empowered to flourish and thrive as they progress through Cherry Class and beyond.

Your child’s journey with us will be guided by Mrs. Jeffries, Ms. Natella, and Mr. Saunders, who will be the primary adults supporting their learning, play, and care.
