Reception

Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage.

At St Thomas’s CE Primary School, we strive for the development of sound foundations for every child. We have a passion for igniting curiosity and enthusiasm for learning and we provide a nurturing, caring and fun environment where your child can develop. We believe that every child is unique and we work in partnership with parents to provide the most effective learning opportunities for your child. We aim to provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment where positive relationships are key.

The EYFS is broken down into 7 areas of learning

Prime Areas

  • Communication and language
  • Physical Development
  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Specific Areas

  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the World
  • Expressive Arts and Design

We plan opportunities for learning through a combination of ‘in the moment’ planning, continuous provision, child led, child supported and adult led activities.

Thankyou for taking the time to look at our class page.
