Education in the Foundation Stage is centred around seven inter-related areas of learning:
- Personal Social and Emotional Development
- Physical Development
- Communication and Language
- Literacy
- Mathematical Development
- Knowledge and Understanding of the World
- Creative Development
Purposeful play is a very important part of this curriculum and is a key way in which children learn with enjoyment and challenge. By providing a variety of learning experiences, we aim to help all children develop a positive attitude towards their learning within a caring environment. We recognise that parents are children’s first educators and we therefore seek to develop an effective partnership between home and school.
