The Submarine at Abbots Cross Primary School

The decoration style is an underwater theme, including sea creature beanbags and a much loved tropical fish tank!

The room provides focused support for wellbeing and the emotional regulation of children in the Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1. It is beneficial for several of the school’s P1 pupils who have experienced disruption to their education because of the pandemic.  

‘The Submarine’, with its kitchen and living room area and its little school desks, supports the school’s commitment to play based learning and the nurturing approach to education employed throughout the school. The room is also used at various times of the day by children from other year groups. Pupils in ‘The Submarine’ especially enjoy visits from the Nurture kittens.

Joanne Griffith, Principal of Abbots Cross commented,

“The Nurture Classroom is a further reflection of the school’s daily commitment to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of all children and creating the right conditions for learning.”

The school’s approach to Nurture showcases the positive ethos reflected in the school which contributes to the wellbeing of all pupils at Abbots Cross Primary School.
