EYFS
Vision and Ethos of the Early Years Foundation Stage
at St Luke's CE
Through our Early Years Foundation Stage we intend to provide children with the best possible start to their school life, providing the foundations upon which their education can be built to enable them to fulfil their potential.
Our Aims:
- To provide opportunities through high quality interactions to develop communication and language of the pupils.
- To provide a wide variety of learning opportunities through specific tailored and planned provision.
- To ensure all children make excellent progress in their learning and reach their full potential, ensuring they are ready for the next stage of their education.
- To ensure the environment provides safe, secure, caring and stimulating opportunities for our pupils to learn.
The Curriculum
Our EYFS curriculum has been thoughtfully designed to be specific to the needs of our children, providing them with a wide variety of opportunities and experiences to learn through high quality provision and play. The curriculum has been split into half termly topics to engage children, building upon prior knowledge, skills and experiences they may have had outside of school and exposing them to new. The scope for learning within these topics is wide and adaptable, enabling children the opportunity to achieve and exceed expectations in all areas of the EYFS curriculum whilst preparing them, and equipping them with necessary knowledge and understanding for the next phase of their educational journey.
