eARLY yEARS FOUNDATION STAGE 

Children in the early years are keen to learn. Children respond well to engaging activities
that reflect their interests. The curriculum is well structured so that children build
knowledge well. This ensures they are ready to move on to the next stage of their
education.”

At Holsworthy C of E Primary School Early Years Foundation Stage Unit, our children are at the heart of what we do. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum routed in language and progress which is personalised and tailored to each unique child’s point of learning to provide them with the knowledge skills and understanding they need to be confident, inquisitive, curious, independent learners whilst fostering their fascinations and influence their wider thinking across all areas of the curriculum. 

Our dedicated and highly trained team strive to provide an environment that is happy, secure and stimulating, where risk taking and challenge is encouraged in a safe environment and incorporated into our Early Years Curriculum through our Christian values of love, kindness, respect, responsibility and forgiveness.  

Our children are nurtured to become confident, resilient and reflective learners with a natural instinct to explore, which develops a readiness to succeed and a life-long love of learning. We believe parental involvement is crucial to enable us to provide a unique curriculum for a child and work in close partnership to enable experiences and learning to be shared.
