EYFS

Intent
At our school, we aim to provide children aged two to five with a happy and vibrant foundation that fosters a lifelong love of learning. Our intention is to offer an enriched curriculum, providing children with a wide range of new and exciting experiences. We promote children’s social and emotional wellbeing through nurturing environments, positive relationships with adults and peers, and strong partnerships with parents.

We embrace our school’s Christian values of Compassion, Curiosity, Community, and Courageousness in everything we do and ‘Let our Light Shine’.

Our aims are to:

  • Offer stimulating and inspiring provision where children feel safe and secure enough to take informed risks within their learning and play.
  • Encourage independence and support children in developing their own interests within a nurturing, enabling environment.
  • Promote valuable curriculum opportunities both indoors and outdoors.
  • Maintain the highest expectations for all children, providing them with unlimited opportunities for growth and development.
  • Recognise that every child is unique—constantly learning and capable of being resilient, confident, and self-assured.
  • Ensure parents and guardians feel informed and supported throughout their child’s learning journey.
