At Pool Hayes Primary the EYFS consists of a morning Nursery class and a Reception class. The staff working in EYFS following the Statutory Framework and use the Development Matters guidance to provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all our children.
Curriculum
At Pool Hayes Primary we believe that children learn best through play alongside adult led activities. Staff use their extensive experience to observe the children then provide hands on experiences that develop the children’s natural curiosity, vocabulary and love of learning.
During their time in our EYFS we aim for all children to develop key skills such as independence, confidence and curiosity.
We aim to develop these skills through carefully planned continuous provision and quality interactions with adults.
At Pool Hayes Primary we believe that all children need access to outdoor provision, our children are encouraged to access outdoors in all weathers to allow the children to experience the world in all seasons and to develop their whole body physical skills which are needed to be able to develop their fine motor skills to be able to complete tasks such as zipping up their coat, using scissors and writing letters.
We aim for all children in our EYFS to achieve the Early Learning Goals at the end of Reception through the use of the Characteristics of Effective Teaching and Learning alongside our well planned curriculum.
Parents
We know that sometimes children and families need extra support. We work with parents to ensure that they feel listened to regarding concerns about their child. We liaise with our SENDCO (see SEN page here) and welfare staff to provide for the needs of all children within our care.
