Why join our Reception class? 

  • Purpose-built facilities: Our spacious and innovative centre for early years – Rupert Road – provides a safe and dynamic home to our Nursery and Reception classes. The bright and colourful, purpose-built centre is perfectly equipped to support both physical and academic development, with spacious classrooms, a dedicated kitchen, and large outdoor play areas, including an outdoor classroom. 
  • Specialist teaching: From the outset, all pupils benefit from our team of specialist teachers in subjects such as music, eurythmics, language (French), computing, and physical education. This early introduction fosters a love for the arts and active living, contributing to well-rounded development. 
  • Outdoor learning and play: We believe in the importance of outdoor activities for young learners. Our dedicated outdoor play area provides daily opportunities for children to explore, play, and develop physical skills in a safe environment and secure setting. 
  • Wraparound care: We offer extensive wraparound care from 7:30am to 6pm. This not only supports our busier families but ensures that each child’s day is filled with enriching experiences, even beyond standard school hours. 

Fees and term dates

At Orchard House, we are committed to providing an exceptional education. Our Nursery offers flexible session options, and we provide full-day sessions from Reception to Form 6. To ensure that an Orchard House education remains accessible to talented and deserving students, we offer means-tested bursaries.
