Foundation Stage

Our Early Years children, i.e. Kindergarten and Reception children follow the nationally established Foundation Stage Curriculum. This curriculum sets out a clearly defined group of six Early Learning Goals that most children are expected to achieve by the end of their Reception Year.

1.Personal, Social and Emotional Development
2.Communication, Language and Literacy
3.Mathematical Development 4.Knowledge and Understanding of the World
5.Physical Development
6.Creative Development

The curriculum is carefully structured, planned and organised into achievable stepping stones, and contains three strands:
1. Provision for the different starting points of children (building on what they already know and can do).
2. Experiences that match the different levels of need.
3. Planned and purposeful activities that give real opportunities for teaching and learning both indoors and outside.
Our Early Years children learn through play and in other ways, and the planned curriculum takes account of this.
