Early Years Foundation Stage

Our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) ranges from 3 years old to the age of 5. The provision for EYFS is a well resourced suite of rooms in an independent area of the school. The area is well equipped for both indoor and outdoor ‘learning through play’ activities. Free choice is available to children throughout all day, every day. Our interactive whiteboards play a key role in the group learning of our children.

Our youngest children are very much a part of Penshurst Primary School, joining in assemblies, singing and engaging in a variety of activities.

* We ensure every child is ‘A Unique Child’, developing all children to be resilient, confident and self-assured.

* We pride ourselves on our ‘Positive Relationships’, enabling all children to be strong and independent through caring and secure relationship with our staff.

* We endeavour to create ‘Enabling environments’, which support and extend all children’s development and learning.

* We fully understand ‘Learning and development’, which sees our staff developing all children in different ways and rates and creating equality for all the areas of learning.
