Early Years Foundation Stage
Our EYFS Vision
‘Learning, growing and succeeding together’
Intent Statement
Our school vision statement 'Learning,
growing and succeeding together'
underpins our culture and ethos in the
Early Years at Whitnash Primary School.
We are passionate about children
being happy, confident and kind individuals
with a love for learning.
We believe that the
Early Years Foundation Stage
is crucial in securing solid foundations
that children continue to build upon
throughout their school life.
It is our aim that the children
who enter our EYFS develop physically,
verbally, cognitively and emotionally
whilst embedding a positive attitude
to school and learning.
We provide an engaging curriculum
that maximises opportunities
for meaningful cross-curricular links
and learning experiences, as well as
promoting the unique child by offering
extended periods of
play and sustained thinking.
This is facilitated by warm, skilful adult
interactions which support the children
as they link learning to their play
and exploration, and builds on each
individual child’s needs and interests.
We work in partnership with our families,
previous settings and other external
agencies to provide the best possible start
at Whitnash Primary School.
We believe that all children deserve
to be valued as an individual
and we are passionate in allowing
all learners to achieve their full,
unique potential
from their various starting points.
