Foundation Stage

Pre School and Reception Classes for Children aged 3-5 years

Creche The Foundation Stage provides a secure, caring environment for children to begin their education. In the Foundation Stage, carefully planned activities provide learning opportunities based on the children's educational, social and personal needs. A play-oriented learning environment encourages individual development through teacher-led and independent activities.

Experienced teachers and teaching assistants work together in small class environments to ensure that the individual needs of the children are recognised.

A wide range of activities are planned to develop the potential of the child in six learning areas featured in the Foundation Stage Curriculum for England and Wales:

Communication Language and Literacy
Mathematical Development
Physical Development
Personal and Social Education
Creative Development Knowledge and Understanding of the World

The experiences in the Foundation Stage involve learning both inside and outside the classroom. Children in Reception extend their language skills of reading and writing. Additionally, activities are planned for interaction between Pre-School and Reception children on a regular basis.
