Vision

At Anthony Curton and Tilney All Saints Primary Schools we provide a secure

foundation for every child. We provide every child with a wide variety of rich experiences that are crucial to their learning and development. The Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum encompasses our school values of peace, patience, love, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, kindness, joy, forgiveness and self-control.

The four guiding principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage framework shape our

practice across our reception provision:

• Every child is a unique child, who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
• Children learn to be strong and independent through the positive relationships we provide.
• Children learn and develop well in enabling environments, in which planned experiences are in response to their individual needs and there is a strong partnership between practitioners and parents and/or carers.
• The importance of learning and development. Children develop and learn at different rates.

Intent

To provide a safe, stimulating learning environment, both indoors and

outdoors, that enables children to discover and explore new and exciting

things.

• To develop children’s independence and resilience.
• To provide children with the skills they need to reach their potential.
• To nurture characteristics of effective learning – playing and exploring; active
• learning and creating and thinking critically.
• To nurture children’s curiosity about the world around them opening up their worlds to diverse opportunities.
• To provide parents and carers with the opportunity to develop their children’s learning at home.
• To prepare children for the next part of their learning journey.
