Early Years
Our Nursery opened in May 2026! Please contact school for more information.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) in Reception class follows a separate curriculum to the National Curriculum. A New Statutory Framework has been introduced from September 2025 and this sets out the educational programmes that shape our EYFS curriculum. Below you can view our Reception long term plan. This can be subject to small changes based on children’s interests and development.
