Songs, rhymes and text shaped the youngest children’s start in Tiny Steps at Haxby Road Primary Academy in July 2022. This named provision introduced those children to language from the beginning of their school experience.
The nursery belongs to the primary academy in York. In July 2022, its early-years provision comprised a nursery alongside part-time provision for children aged two.

In July 2022, leaders prioritised speaking, listening and reading across the school.
