What we do in Foundation One

In Foundation 1 we encourage and support children to become confident and independent learners. We provide a rich learning environment so that children can quickly learn to be responsible for their own learning and can plan and organise their time. We believe that children should be allowed to develop at their own pace. The needs of each child vary and we cater for them as individuals,

Foundation stage is a vital part in your child’s ongoing education. A positive start to school, where a love of exploration and learning is fostered, sets children up for a positive experience as they continue their education journey. We work closely with parents and carers to develop a partnership between home and school in order to share together the importance of these early years in your child’s education.

We follow the statutory curriculum set out by the DFE in the Foundation Stage (EYFS).

Further information can be found HERE

The curriculum is organised into 7 areas of learning:

Personal, social and emotional development
Communication and language
Expressive arts and design
Understanding the world
Physical development
Mathematics
Literacy

For more information on any curriculum matters please see a member of the team.

All members of the Foundation team, want your child to have a happy, positive and exciting experience. We want their day to be filled with purposeful play, making friendships, learning, developing and lots of fun!
