Intent

At Longford C of E Primary, we are passionate about giving our youngest pupils the best possible start to their education. We provide an inspiring, challenging and safe environment for our children to develop their learning through play based activities in our indoor classroom and outdoor learning area. Our children learn in a small nurturing group with Year 1 children working as great role models to help them settle quickly into the daily routines.

Implementation

The children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage objectives in the seven main areas of development to become independent and confident learners. All our children are unique and learn at different rates; we add additional support to help then reach their full potential.

Impact

Throughout the year, the children develop in confidence and their ability, enabling them to reach the Early Learning Goals. They leave Reception with the skills required for the more formal curriculum of Key Stage One.
