Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
The Early Years and Foundation Stage includes children of nursery age (2 to 4+) and reception age children who will become of statutory school age during that academic year. Children work towards the Early Learning Goals, and their progress is tracked and reported to parents at the end of Reception.
We aim to help children learn through practical experience and play inside and outside of doors. High priority is given to supporting language development and promoting positive attitudes towards learning. The Early Years and Foundation Stage Curriculum is planned in seven areas of learning.
The three prime areas:
- Communication and Language
- Physical Development
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
The four specific areas:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
