We follow the Statutory Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.  

Communication and Language  

 This provides children opportunities to experience a rich language 

 environment to develop their confidence and skills in expressing 

 themselves and to speak and listen in a range of situations.  

Personal, Social and Emotional Development  

The learning environment fosters independence, developing strong social skills and good relationships between students and teachers and parents. In Continuous Provision, children have opportunities to talk about their feelings and are taught how to play cooperatively with others by taking turns and working as part of a group. 

Physical Development 

Outdoor learning areas provide opportunities for the children to not only develop physically, but also to incorporate and use all the skills they have been taught in the classroom. 

Our outdoor environment is a place where children can, explore and manage their own risks in a safe environment. Children are encouraged to bring a healthy lunch to school. 

Mathematics 

The learning environment supports children to develop and enhance their skills in counting, awareness of shapes, understanding numbers and number problems through practical hands on activities. 

Literacy and Phonics 

 Developing a passion for reading and writing from the start is key to our students learning. Our expectation is that children will leave the foundation stage with the strategies and skills to read and write simple sentences ready for them to build on these skills in Kg 2/ Year 1. One of the first steps to enable children to access the joy of books is for them to learn the sounds associated with each letter and critical to this is the use of a structured phonics scheme. 

Understanding of the World 

Children are taught key skills in predicting, observing and evaluating to help them make sense of the world around them. 

Throughout the Foundation Stage, our designated investigation areas provide children with open-ended opportunities to make links with other areas of the curriculum. 

Expressive Arts and Design 

Children are exposed to a rich learning environment that encourages role-play, art and music. 

FS2 and Year1 classes are housed in their own building with separate covered playgrounds and active outdoor learning areas. We have a gymnasium and swimming pool, three fully equipped ICT Labs, Music Room, Science Lab, and Library, which is exclusively for our Early years students. Specialist Teachers teach Music, P.E., ICT, Library, Arabic and Islamic Lessons. The students also have access to playing fields for all sporting events.
