Our Classes
Our primary phases of education are broken down as follows:
- EYFS includes Nursery (2-4 year olds) and Reception
- Key Stage 1 includes Year 1 and Year 2 pupils.
- Key Stage 2 includes pupils of Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6.
EYFS
We are very fortunate to have such a wealth of experienced EYFS staff within our team. Our Early Years Foundation Stage caters for children aged 2 - 5 years old. We have different rooms for different ages, which can really benefit children and enable us to target specific stages of development. We are also so lucky in that we can also come together to mix and learn from each other due to the vast spaces our school offers, for example in our outdoor provision or in our bike yard or soft play room. Our Foundation Stage consists of:
- Caterpillar Nursery Class (aged 2-3 years)
- Butterfly Nursery Class (aged 3-4 years)
- Blueberry Reception Class (aged 4-5 years)
- Strawberry Reception Class (aged 4-5 years)
We boast small class sizes with a higher teacher to child ratio within our school. Currently our Reception classes have approximately 16 children in each class. Our children are always busy exploring, investigating and learning both inside and outside the classroom.

SEND Provision
At Pelton Community Primary School, we are proud of our inclusive approach and our commitment to meeting the needs of every learner, whatever their level of need. We adapt both the curriculum and the learning environment to ensure pupils with SEND can access learning in a way that works best for them.
All children are supported to follow the National Curriculum or Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework at a level and pace that reflects their individual strengths and needs. Where appropriate, we make thoughtful adjustments to the curriculum to ensure it remains meaningful, engaging, and achievable.
Some children may benefit from a more personalised pathway. For these pupils, we offer tailored support through one of our specialist provisions, each designed to meet specific areas of need:
