Curriculum – EYFS

Our Nursery and Reception  classes are amazing places to be! We know how important those Early Years are and we aim to prepare our children for the start of their educational journey in a caring, stimulating and inclusive environment.

  • Our pupils benefit from an environment, which supports and develops their learning and ensures each individual can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured. ​
  • We have a clear, well sequenced curriculum, which we adapt to our pupils’ needs and ensure they are well supported through transition periods.
  • Our focus is on prime areas of learning: Communication & language, Physical Development and Personal, Social and Emotional Development. These are the foundations of learning and our pupils are well supported to ensure they have these vital skills.
  • We love reading in our EYFS and we are passionate about developing a love of reading both at school and at home.
  • We value our close links with home and work with parents/carers to support our pupils and ensure they thrive.
  • Our EYFS pupils are our ‘Promise for the Future’!
