The Foundation Stage

Tiny Sparkles comprises of 2 Nursery classes attending from 9.00am to 12.00pm each day. Little Champions comprises 13 classes ranging in age from 4 years to 14 years of age.

Students have opportunities to work together during free flow, where they can move independently between the classroom and the outdoor area (in cooler weather). EYFS staff plan and work together to ensure continuity and progression, providing age and stage related activities to suit all our students. Students are also taught within their own class groups in a variety of ways: in whole class groups, small group work, pairs and individually. We provide excellent pastoral care and education to those Students in our care.   The Staff are committed to professional development and attend up to date training courses and have excellent knowledge of the Early Years Foundation Stage and Student development.

The Foundation Stage effects a smooth transition from home to school and then from EYFS into the curriculum offered in Little Champions whilst offering stability for the Students. In all classes, Students are provided with an environment in which they are given opportunities to express themselves using a variety of mediums and suitable material to stimulate and extend imagination and understanding. Through planned play and talking, young Students learn about themselves and the world around them, they are given opportunities to socialise, make friends and therefore develop personal, social and emotional skills and develop confidence
