At Stapleford Community Primary School we believe that the Early Years are critical in children’s development and that the EYFS builds a firm basis for future learning, development and independence. We aim to:

• Provide a happy, secure, well-ordered and stimulating environment, where children can develop as independent individuals through interaction with sensitive adults and other children.

• Offer a broad and balanced curriculum which extends previous learning and covers the seven areas of learning as set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework (Revised EYFS Framework 2021).

• Ensure that children develop positive attitudes to learning, self-motivation, curiosity, confidence and responsibility.

• Provide children with first hand learning experiences rooted in purposeful play in which they can become actively engaged, expressing thoughts, ideas and feelings.

• Develop the whole child socially, spiritually, emotionally, physically and intellectually.

• Develop and maintain partnership with parents and others including professionals who are involved with the development of the child.
