Early Years

Members of staff are observing the children through play based activities both child and adult led. The children’s development is monitored using the Early Year Foundation Stage which covers from birth to the age of 5.

There are seven areas, these are:

Specific:

Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design

Prime:

Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Physical Development
Communication and Language

When a child starts with us we create a learning journey to show their development and progression either using a paper based folder or using an online system called Tapestry. The aim is that when a child reaches the end of reception that they will have met the Early Learning Goals.

Please go here to find out more information about the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Religious Education

RE must have a very high profile within the church school curriculum and learning activities should provide fully for the needs of all learners. Learners should be inspired by the subject and develop a wide range of higher level skills such as enquiry, analysis, interpretation, evaluation and reflection to deepen their understanding of the impact of religion on the world. Attainment should be high and progress significant in developing an understanding of Christianity and a broad range of religions and world views.
