At Leigh on Mendip School, we welcome children from 2 years to 11 years old.

Our preschool, also known as Robins, forms a key part of our Foundation Stage Unit, organised to provide a seamless environment for children from 2 to 4 years old.

Our approach recognises the very best practice in Early Years education, ensuring a safe, happy and secure environment for children to develop and grow.

Our curriculum is planned so children can learn and develop at their own pace through challenging play activities.

We work within the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.

We offer a range of sessions to suit you and your child during term time.

8.30am – 12pm

8.30am – 1:00pm (staying for lunch)

12.00pm – 3.00pm

8:30am – 3.00pm

Children attending a session between 12.00pm and 1.00pm can choose to bring a packed lunch, or have one of our delicious school meals.
