Early Years Learning Environment
A nurturing and supportive environment helps children feel safe and valued. This sense of security is vital for their emotional well-being and encourages them to build positive relationships with peers and teachers.
We have two foundation classes, Puffins and Penguins. Whilst we have two classes, EYFS work as a shared team meaning that staff work across the classes getting to know all 45 children really well. Children can at times independently access either classroom via open inter-connecting doors and outside areas. This allows for a shared vision of inspirational learning, greater interaction between the children, and increased opportunities for shared resources and experiences.
- Our learning environment is co-constructed with the children, ensuring that they feel a strong sense of belonging and pride in their school. By involving children in the creation and evolution of their learning spaces, we foster a community where every child feels valued and empowered.
- Our welcoming classroom is a happy and vibrant learning environment where our youngest children settle quickly and thrive. It is vital for us that children feel confident to explore, investigate and ponder in a safe and nurturing space. The seven areas of learning are celebrated in creative ways allowing our children to develop their character, independence and curiosity.
- Our outdoor provision is an extension of the classroom space – allowing children further opportunities to collaborate and discover together in exciting ways. We encourage our children to be resourceful, reflecting on the materials or tools they need to be successful in their learning. Our environment offers children different opportunities to continually practice and embed new skills and knowledge.
- Our learning environment extends beyond the classroom as children access different areas of the school. These areas include Woodland Camp, Amphitheatre, Swimming Pool, 3G Pitch and Playground.
