Early Years Foundation Stage
The Governors and staff at SS. John and Monica’s Primary school recognise the importance of Early Years Education as the Foundation upon which children build the rest of their lives.
Early Years Education is concerned with the physical, social, emotional, aesthetic and cognitive development of the individual, with no one area standing in isolation from the others. The Foundation Stage is like a jigsaw; each piece is equally important to complete the picture.
THE FOUNDATION STAGE CURRICULUM
The Foundation Stage Curriculum is divided into two parts;
- Prime areas of development
- Specific areas of development
The Prime Areas include:
- Communication and Language
- Physical Development
- Personal, Social and Emotional Education
