Independent School Association (ISA) Award for Innovation and Excellence in Early Years - Little Crickets Nursery Frome

Recipient: Little Crickets Nursery Frome

Date: Wednesday 11 Sep 2024

The Nursery and Reception classes are proud to announce that they have been awarded Highly Commended in the prestigious Independent Schools Association (ISA) Award for Excellence and Innovation in Early Years. This recognition highlights the school's exceptional commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for young learners.
The award specifically acknowledges the pioneering work in filmmaking with its youngest pupils. Our creative staff have successfully integrated filmmaking into its early years curriculum, empowering children to express themselves creatively, develop critical thinking skills, and collaborate effectively to build Nativity feature films at Christmas and in the summer. This summer’s film, Pirates of the Seven Seas were great fun to make.

‘The children’s understanding of story building, characterisation and drama was unparalleled. Little children are capable of so much and film making showcases our children’s hidden talents and interests.’ Sally Cox, Headteacher

The ISA award is a testament to the dedication and expertise of Springmead School’s early years team. By fostering a love of learning and providing unique opportunities for exploration, the school is preparing its pupils for a bright future.
