Foundation Stage Curriculum
In our Foundation Stage Unit for reception (FS2) and nursery (FS1) aged pupils, teaching and learning covers the following areas of the Foundation Stage Curriculum:
Prime Areas
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Communication and Language Development
Physical Development
Specific Areas
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design
These areas of learning encompass aspects of all those ‘subjects’ in later phases of education. Teachers and teaching assistants work as a team of Foundation Stage Practitioners and skillfully link learning intentions based upon themes and following children’s interests. There is a strong emphasis on active play based learning. Most important is the fostering of enjoyment of, and enthusiasm for, learning. Click here to find out more about our EYFS curriculum.
In the Foundation Stage phonics is taught using Monster Phonics. Please see our phonics page for more information.
For all our pupils the development of social and emotional skills that support children in being confident, independent and collaborative learners is paramount. In a nutshell - a happy child will be an effective learner.
