Shackleton Primary School Featured in TES Magazine for Early Years Practice

We are proud to share that Shackleton Primary has been featured in TES Magazine, recognising the positive impact of reducing Reception class sizes on children’s learning and development.

The national article highlights how smaller class sizes in Reception can make a real difference during this crucial stage of education. At Shackleton Primary School, this approach has helped staff provide more individual attention, build strong relationships with children and support their learning, confidence and wellbeing from the very start of their school journey.

For parents and carers, this means children benefit from:

• more focused support in the classroom
• stronger communication and interaction with staff
• a calm, nurturing environment where every child is known well

We are delighted that the work of our Early Years team has been recognised on a national platform. Their commitment, care and expertise ensure that our youngest learners are supported to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

Being featured in TES is a wonderful endorsement of the thoughtful, child-centred approach taken at Shackleton Primary, and we are incredibly proud of the staff and pupils involved.
