Children in Coral Reef work in small mixed key groupings with a named key person. During the day they have discrete maths and phonics sessions and explore their topic learning through a range of fun exploratory activities from which they can pick - both indoor and outdoor. Alongside this children have regular Forest School and Karate sessions.
