Foundation Stage Curriculum

In the foundation stage we follow the revised framework for the EYFS. Children develop in the context of relationships and the environment around them. This is unique to each family, and reflect individual communities and cultures.

The prime areas support learning in all the other areas and are fundamental throughout your child's Early Years education.
