What is the Early Years Foundation Stage?

The  Foundation Stage begins at birth  and continues throughout the Reception Year, preparing them for learning in Key Stage One.There are seven areas of learning which make up the Foundation  Stage  Curriculum. These  consist of three prime areas and four specific areas.

Prime areas:

Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED)

Communication and Language (CL)

Physical Development (PD)

Specific areas:

Literacy (L)

Mathematics (M)

Understanding the World (UTW)

Expressive Arts and Design (EAD)

The EYFS curriculum offers a range of experiences, allowing children to make their own discoveries. It encourages independence and ensures that children are active in their learning through play and first hand experiences. Here at St Augustine’s we have a large, well resourced outdoor area that is used daily as an integral part of our provision.   Exciting learning opportunities for both indoors and outdoors are carefully planned by our experienced EYFS team. Our stimulating learning environment and dedicated team support children to become independent, resilient lifelong learners.
