Nursery & Reception
Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
Our Early Years’ Philosophy is based on a deep understanding of the ways in which children learn: through:
‘Playing & Exploring, Doing & ‘Reviewing’ and 'building on what they already know and can do’.
All learning experiences build on from a ’concrete’, ‘pictorial’ and finally ‘abstract’ process, to ensure each child has a firm understanding of what they have learnt, and that they leave with a secure skill base.
We strive to ensure ‘Our Pupils Make Outstanding PROGRESS’!
There are seven areas of learning within the Early Years Foundation Stage and they cover the main areas of young children’s development.
