Penns Primary School

At Penns Primary, we believe that a  high-quality early years education is vitally important. Children attend early years provision at a crucial developmental point in their lives. The education and care that they receive affects not only future educational attainment but also their future health and happiness.

Early education is important for all children, and particularly so for children who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. We know that early education has a positive effect on the life chances of disadvantaged children and that these children, on average, need more opportunities to develop the wider habits and capacities for learning that they will need for later success. Many disadvantaged children need more chances to develop their language and communication and to learn the knowledge they need.
