studentsThe school is organised into three learning groups.

Learning Land - Ages 2½ to 4

Learning Land is a small, friendly Pre-school which offers excellent facilities and a safe and secure environment for each child. Learning Land teaches children in accordance with the Early Learning Goals of the National Curriculum Foundation Level. The daily programme covers the six key areas of a child's development through structured activities. A qualified team provide a key-carer system which ensures that each child receives pastoral care of the highest quality.

The children are taught positive attitudes and encouraged to make good decisions and fulfil simple responsibilities.

Our merit guidelines are:

  1. Be honest and polite
  2. Listen and respond
  3. Be kind
  4. Take time
  5. Take care

All parents would agree that a child's first steps in life are absolutely crucial for his or her well-being.

Reception Reading Readiness and the ABC's Workshop - Ages 5 to 6

hiding in the playhouseThe school is proud of the Infant Department in which the children work in a happy, well-ordered atmosphere where traditional attitudes and values are considered important. Children achieve their best when they are happy, motivated and feel secure, and where individual support is at hand.

During the summer term before their Reception Year, each child is given a reading readiness and co-ordination development assessment. This prepares staff and children for their launch into school life in the Reading Readiness programme and the ABC's Workshop. Through the course of the year, in the Reading Readiness Programme, the children are introduced to 36 animal friends (e.g. Abi the Antelope), which correspond to 36 phonetic sounds and positive character traits, while learning about the world and relationships around them. When a child scores over 80% on the Reading Readiness test, they then get off to a flying start in the ABC's Workshop where they are taught to read and write while continuing with a balanced and broad programme of studies.

The Learning Centres and beyond - "Education for Life" - Ages 7 to 18

The development of each student academically, socially, and spiritually is crucial, as this is the foundation upon which their future is built. Some of the strengths of Locksley are its class sizes, the individual help children receive, the high standards expected for behaviour, and the happy and caring environment that is provided.

The peaceful, airy, and bright Learning Centres create the perfect learning environment. Learning Centre Supervisors teach the core curriculum subjects whilst specialist teachers take lessons such as P.E., Music, I.T., Science, and German.

Outings give a wider understanding of our heritage and the world in which we live. Each year group has at least one outing per term.

Locksley Christian School provides academic training in an atmosphere that enriches lives, builds character, and enables each child to develop as an individual, while appreciating the needs of others.
