A warm welcome awaits you and your child here at Magherafelt Integrated Nursery School. Our nurturing, experienced and committed team, champion and celebrate integration and the power of the child in the learning process.
Children are at the heart of our vision of ‘Exploring, Learning and Celebrating Together’. Starting nursery school is an exciting step and in partnership with you, we aim to provide high quality teaching and learning in a nurturing and enabling environment. As we strive to embed our vision, we recognise, value and celebrate the diversity of our community of learners. Through the medium of ‘playful learning’ across the pre-school curriculum, we hope that each child will grow in confidence and self-worth, showing care for others and our world, whilst developing a love of exploration and learning. We are committed to supporting children with additional and special educational needs. Children from all backgrounds, cultures and faiths, and of all abilities will be educated together in a warm and nurturing environment, where the NICIE ‘Statement of Principles’ are lived out daily.
We believe that children are strong, competent learners, who bring their own interests, ideas and experiences to their exploration and learning. Attuned and responsive adults interact skilfully and intentionally to ensure that each child makes progress on their learning journey. Springboards and digital technology are interwoven into the learning experiences to ensure that our children develop skills, knowledge and understanding in a holistic way. The learning environment is well-resourced with open-ended play materials which lend themselves to exploration, discovery and creative thinking. We embrace outdoor learning and our outdoor environment is an outstanding feature of the school, offering a stimulating and challenging learning landscape for children to explore.
