Foundation Stage

EYFS - Foundation Stage

“It was not work to me, it was play – delightful play, vigorous play, adventurous play – and I loved it.”
— Mark Twain

Curriculum Plan

“There’s such a wide variety of learning which my daughter is always so intrigued and passionate about.”
— Parent 2019

The Foundation Stage curriculum is designed to meet the needs of young children and recognises how young children learn best.

Children learn Knowledge and Understanding (K&U), Personal and Social Education (PSE), Physical Development (PD), Mathematical Development (MD), Communication Language and Literacy (CLL), and Creative Development (CD) through stimulating activities and child initiated play. Much emphasis is placed on independence, motivation and the learning of key basic skills. By the end of Foundation Stage our children become confident, excited learners, ready for a challenge, equipped with the building blocks for life long learning.

Our Foundation Stage unit combines Nursery (F1) and Reception (F2) classes together in a vibrant, cohesive learning group. Staff use the Foundation Stage Curriculum Statutory Guidance, Development Matters and our Early Reading policy to plan, monitor and guide learning.

The unit is designed to promote independence, self-control and cooperation. Within it there are a wide range of exciting and enticing areas of provision (both inside and outside) developed from the children’s interests and their learning needs. Children are responsive to the adults working with them and the environment and are keen to take part and be active learners. They demonstrate curiosity and individuality – asking questions and sharing ideas. Most children persist even in the face of challenge and are proud of their achievements.
