Our Vision EYFS POLICY
St Bernard’s RC Primary School embraces children as individuals. By recognising and valuing children’s particular strengths and talents, we seek to encourage their full potential. In EYFS, staff work together towards a shared of vision of “A Unique Family in Faith, Love and Learning”. Our aim is to create a nurturing, caring and stimulating Early Years environment where children are:
- Happy, secure and feel safe
- Independent, self-assured risk takers
- Confident and resilient
- Excited and motivated to learn
- Socially strong and able to form positive relationships
Statement of Intent
At St Bernard’s, we greatly value the importance of the early years foundation stage (EYFS) in providing a secure foundation for future learning and development.
This policy has been developed in conjunction with the relevant guidance and legislation to ensure that each child has a happy and positive start to their school life in which they can build a foundation for a love of learning.
We ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. We promote teaching and learning to ensure children’s readiness for the next stage of their education, and give children a broad range of knowledge and skills that provide the right foundation for good future progress through school and life.
We seek to provide:
- Quality and consistency, so that every child makes good progress and no child gets left behind.
- A secure foundation through learning and development opportunities which are planned around the needs and interests of each child and are assessed and reviewed regularly.
- Partnership working between practitioners and parents.
- Equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practice, ensuring that every child is included and supported.
