Early Years

Within our Foundation Stage, we believe children are at the centre of their learning and learn best through play. Our Foundation Stage staff are committed to ensuring all children are happy and successful. We recognise that every child is competent learner who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured. Children’s attitudes and dispositions to learning are influenced by feedback from others; we use encouragement to support children in developing a positive attitude to learning. We recognise that “Every child is a unique child who is competent learner who can be resilient, resourceful, reflective, take risks, and can form successful relationships”. We recognise that the environment plays a key role in supporting and extending the children’s development. Foundation Stage have their own outdoor area which children have access to at all times and during all seasons of the year. Outdoor learning has a positive effect on the children’s development, being outdoors offers the children further opportunities to explore, use their senses, develop their language skills and be physically active. We plan activities and develop resources both inside and outside, enabling the children to develop in all the areas of learning. We are also continually developing our forest school area which all children in our school will be able to access regularly.

Our Early Years Policy provides more information about the learning your child will undertake should they join our Foundation Stage.
