Attendance
DAILY ATTENDANCE, WHEN YOUR CHILD IS WELL, IS VITAL FOR YOUR CHILD’S GOOD SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
Starting School
- All children will have opportunities to visit school before they start school full time.
- This allows staff to get to know each child personally.
- Staff will also be making Baseline Assessments. These will inform us of how the children learn and inform us ways to move them forward in their learning.
Entry Process
In order for staff to teach children about the daily routines and to get to know them a small group at a time, children will be phased into Reception during the first couple of weeks of September. This will be arranged as soon as school reopens.
- One of the fundamental principles of the EYFS is about staff getting to know the ‘unique child’ so that their needs can be met.
- Our Meet the Teacher session and phasing-in sessions during the early weeks of September reflect this and we ask for your support in helping us to get to know YOUR child. Please give us as much information as possible when we ask.
- We will be setting up drop in sessions during the first few weeks in September to give you the opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher.
The curriculum is currently organised into the 7 areas of learning listed below:
1. Personal, Social and Emotional Development
2. Communication and Language
3. Physical Development
4. Literacy
5. Mathematics
6. Understanding the World
7. Expressive Arts and Design
