ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE The 202112022 academic year started with a real feeling of normality which was a welcome change from the previoLbS years which had really been heavily affected by covid restrictions. Numbers were very strong despite the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, this femained the &1se throughout the year and finances were stable. The year started with 35 children on the register and ended with 42 children. As in previous years there were a18rge number of children that would be school age at the end of the summer tem so there was still the need to advertise Pre-school in the local area. This was done through Facebook posts and also through our Toddler group which started back after the summer. WEST HILL PRE-SCHOOL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT FOR THE YEAR TO 3187 AUGUST 2022 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (coThtlnued) With 35 children on the register numbers were very similar to the previous year for the autumn teTm, and again there were quite a few children that started on the minimum sessions with a view lo increasing those sessions after Christmas. Pre-school will continue to operate 5 days a week with both morning and aftemoon sessions being offered. FO￿$try Fridays started up again on 24th September. This runs on a Friday morning,. the children attending this session go to a designated Forest school sile al West Hill Primary School with a qualified Forest School Practitioner. They love being outside exploring and investigating the natural WOTId, challenging themselves and building a life-long love of the outdoors. They enjoy den building, climbing, swing building, playing in the mud krtchen, and much more. The sessions are focused around the children's interests and help build confidence and self-esteem. As part of this, on a Friday the Pre- school is sel up lo reflect the session, the slaff follow the Forest School ethos of natural resources and exploring nature. By extending Forest School into the setting, it helps embed the leaming that happens at the Forest School site. After ttvo years of being unable to celebrate the Harvest Festival in Church we could finally attend in person for this wonderful celebration and welcome parents along with us too. After October half temi we began to provide an After School Club from Monday-Thursday 3.15pm- 5.30pm open to all children from both the Pre-school and Primary school betsveen the ages of 3 and 10. This proved extremely popular from the start as services such as this are hard to find in the local area. We were also able to do a Christmas event this year. We opted for an outdoor event due lo Covid-19 case numbers being high in the local area, and the committee organised a fantastic Carols around the Christmas Tree evening with Singing and a visit from Santa. We held a raffle with amazing prizes, mulled wine and singing. It was really poputar with the whole communty. Lastly, we had a cocoa evening where the children came to the village hall in their pyjamas. read stories and Santa visited the children which was a lovely way to end the term. The Spring term started with 40 children on the register and increased sessions for most of our current children. This meant a busy time for all staff bul they tsckled this with their usual energy and enthusiasm. Once again, we were able lo plan events for this term which is atways so much fun for the children and made everyone feel like some kind of nomalty was retuming following the pandemic. Oue to the high numbers of children the decision was made to run Rising 5's sessions in the upstairs room of the village hall lo help prepare the school age ¢hildren fol September. These momings gave the rising 5's a unique opportunity to work on listening and school ￿adIneSS skills. We worked very closely with Wesl Hill Primary School lo ensure that the transition to School was smooth. Alongside working on the weekly phonics theme we focused on our daily routineg sueh as hanging up coats, putting on own shoes and coats and good hygiene such as hand washing and toileting. We also refleeled the register taking at school and circle tsme where there are aclivrties. games and stories. We also do lols of fun playing and creating. Aside from this Pre-school continued lo follow a child led and child cenlred approach which means that sessions are slruclured through following children's interests as they happen supporting learning in a gentle child led fashion. This was built on further in the summer term with the introduction of a pre- school children's committee. A small group of children would meet with our fomier manager and make decisions on things such as what snack they would like on each day and which activities they would like to do. It was rotated each week so all children were given an opportunity to take part. During the February half term, we had a long awaited redesign of our outdoor space. A fixed canopy was built by a local landscaping firrn which has transformed Pre-school and enabled the children lo be outside in all weathers. 11 has provided mLtch needed shade and shelter come rain or shine. WEST HILL PRE-SCHOOL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT FOR THE YEAR TO 31ST AUGUST 2022 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE l¢ontlnuedl Both the children and Staff have provided wonderful feedback on the garden and we are very pleased lo have completed the work. Next on the calendar was Motherfs Day and due to another Trse in local Covid-19 cases we decided that as the weather was so lovely, we would do an afternoon tea party in our beautiful garden rather than going to the church as we had in previous years. The children loved getting the garden ￿adY and then seNing lots of yummy cakes to the Mummies and Grandmas. In the last week of term, we did an Easter Egg Hunt around the school field.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE The 202112022 academic year started with a real feeling of normality which was a welcome change from the previoLbS years which had really been heavily affected by covid restrictions. Numbers were very strong despite the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, this femained the &1se throughout the year and finances were stable. The year started with 35 children on the register and ended with 42 children. As in previous years there were a18rge number of children that would be school age at the end of the summer tem so there was still the need to advertise Pre-school in the local area. This was done through Facebook posts and also through our Toddler group which started back after the summer. WEST HILL PRE-SCHOOL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT FOR THE YEAR TO 3187 AUGUST 2022 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (coThtlnued) With 35 children on the register numbers were very similar to the previous year for the autumn teTm, and again there were quite a few children that started on the minimum sessions with a view lo increasing those sessions after Christmas. Pre-school will continue to operate 5 days a week with both morning and aftemoon sessions being offered. FO￿$try Fridays started up again on 24th September. This runs on a Friday morning,. the children attending this session go to a designated Forest school sile al West Hill Primary School with a qualified Forest School Practitioner. They love being outside exploring and investigating the natural WOTId, challenging themselves and building a life-long love of the outdoors. They enjoy den building, climbing, swing building, playing in the mud krtchen, and much more. The sessions are focused around the children's interests and help build confidence and self-esteem. As part of this, on a Friday the Pre- school is sel up lo reflect the session, the slaff follow the Forest School ethos of natural resources and exploring nature. By extending Forest School into the setting, it helps embed the leaming that happens at the Forest School site. After ttvo years of being unable to celebrate the Harvest Festival in Church we could finally attend in person for this wonderful celebration and welcome parents along with us too. After October half temi we began to provide an After School Club from Monday-Thursday 3.15pm- 5.30pm open to all children from both the Pre-school and Primary school betsveen the ages of 3 and 10. This proved extremely popular from the start as services such as this are hard to find in the local area. We were also able to do a Christmas event this year. We opted for an outdoor event due lo Covid-19 case numbers being high in the local area, and the committee organised a fantastic Carols around the Christmas Tree evening with Singing and a visit from Santa. We held a raffle with amazing prizes, mulled wine and singing. It was really poputar with the whole communty. Lastly, we had a cocoa evening where the children came to the village hall in their pyjamas. read stories and Santa visited the children which was a lovely way to end the term. The Spring term started with 40 children on the register and increased sessions for most of our current children. This meant a busy time for all staff bul they tsckled this with their usual energy and enthusiasm. Once again, we were able lo plan events for this term which is atways so much fun for the children and made everyone feel like some kind of nomalty was retuming following the pandemic. Oue to the high numbers of children the decision was made to run Rising 5's sessions in the upstairs room of the village hall lo help prepare the school age ¢hildren fol September. These momings gave the rising 5's a unique opportunity to work on listening and school ￿adIneSS skills. We worked very closely with Wesl Hill Primary School lo ensure that the transition to School was smooth. Alongside working on the weekly phonics theme we focused on our daily routineg sueh as hanging up coats, putting on own shoes and coats and good hygiene such as hand washing and toileting. We also refleeled the register taking at school and circle tsme where there are aclivrties. games and stories. We also do lols of fun playing and creating. Aside from this Pre-school continued lo follow a child led and child cenlred approach which means that sessions are slruclured through following children's interests as they happen supporting learning in a gentle child led fashion. This was built on further in the summer term with the introduction of a pre- school children's committee. A small group of children would meet with our fomier manager and make decisions on things such as what snack they would like on each day and which activities they would like to do. It was rotated each week so all children were given an opportunity to take part. During the February half term, we had a long awaited redesign of our outdoor space. A fixed canopy was built by a local landscaping firrn which has transformed Pre-school and enabled the children lo be outside in all weathers. 11 has provided mLtch needed shade and shelter come rain or shine. WEST HILL PRE-SCHOOL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT FOR THE YEAR TO 31ST AUGUST 2022 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE l¢ontlnuedl Both the children and Staff have provided wonderful feedback on the garden and we are very pleased lo have completed the work. Next on the calendar was Motherfs Day and due to another Trse in local Covid-19 cases we decided that as the weather was so lovely, we would do an afternoon tea party in our beautiful garden rather than going to the church as we had in previous years. The children loved getting the garden ￿adY and then seNing lots of yummy cakes to the Mummies and Grandmas. In the last week of term, we did an Easter Egg Hunt around the school field. There were clues to follow and an easter egg at the end for each child. A great way lo end an extremely busy terml During the holidays, we organised a Queens Platinum Jubilee Scarecrow competition for the whole village. This was kindly sponsored by West Hill Parish Council. Residents were invited lo make and display their royal scarecrows for all Ihe village lo see. They were then judged by the Wesl Hill Parish Councillors, and prizes given out for 111 2nd and 3rd place these were kindly donated by the Parish Council. All entry fees were donated to the Pre-school. The Summer Term began in a similarway with child numbers still hlgh and many sessions fully booked.
