We aim for high standards in teaching, learning and behaviour, and endeavour our children to develop an understanding of our society, based on tolerance and respect for others.<\/p>\n

We know how important your child\u2019s start to education is and we strive to provide a happy, secure and caring environment in which children are encouraged to do their best at all times. We allow for exploration, challenge whilst helping to build resilience through both adult-led learning and structured play.<\/p>\n

Our EYFS helps all of our children build for their future. In our EYFS we recognise the importance of the foundations that we help all of our children to build, ensuring we educate the \u2018whole child\u2019, fostering social and personal skills as well as academic excellence.<\/p>\n

Our Curriculum<\/h3>\n

The Early Years Foundation Stage is about developing key learning skills such as speaking & listening, concentration, persistence, learning to work together & how to cooperate with others. It is also about developing early communication, literacy & numeracy skills that will prepare young children for Key Stage 1 of the National Curriculum.<\/p>\n

Well planned play is a key way in which children learn with enjoyment and challenge. Children progress towards achieving the Early Learning Goals by the end of the Reception year.<\/p>\n

We follow \u2018Development Matters\u2019 to support our curriculum, in which there are seven area\u2019s of learning;<\/p>\n

Communication and Language
\nPhysical Development
\nPersonal, Social and Emotional Development
