Welcome to Explorers,
where we play, learn and grow together. 
 

At North Crescent, we believe that relationships form the basis of a good education.
As a small school, we are able to develop meaningful and trusting relationships with our pupils and their families as we get to truly know and celebrate the uniqueness of each individual. Building strong relationships helps our pupils to be happy, safe and valued; these being the foundation stones for learning and growth. 

We truly believe in getting children off to the best start in life. By joining our EYFS, your child/children will benefit from accessing the school's qualified teachers, curriculums, and resources, along with our extensive grounds and woodland. They will also have the joy of joining in with our sports day and other celebrations. 

We would love to welcome you to our school.

• The school’s curriculum is well sequenced. This starts in the early years, where children get off to a wonderful start. In Reception, children develop a strong understanding of language, communication and number. Staff expertly support children with skilful questions and conversations. Children are highly engaged in their activities, showing determination and building positive attitudes.
   
• The school caters exceptionally well for pupils’ personal development. Leaders have carefully planned an exemplary range of additional opportunities. These are available to all, and participation levels are high. Activities weave together to create an impressive offer

Whilst we celebrate being the only Wickford primary school to have an “OUTSTANDING” Early Years provision, our team remains committed to striving for excellence in everything we do. We are dedicated to providing the best possible education that ‘Nurtures Brilliance, Guides Exploration and Cultivates Respect’. Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to North Crescent.
