What is the Foundation Stage Cirriculum?

Effective early education requires a special and relevant curriculum led by practitioners who know all about your child. The Foundation Stage Cirriculum has six areas of learning, all equally important.

  • Personal, Social & Emotional Development.
  • Communication, Language and Literacy.
  • Mathematical Development.
  • Knowledge and Understanding of the World.
  • Physical Development.

Children develop rapidly during this time time, physically, intellectually, creatively, socially and emotionally. The Foundation Stage is about developing key learning skills such as listening, speaking, concentration, persistence and learning to work together and co-operate with other children. It is also about developing early communication, literacy and numeracy skills that they will develop further in Key Stage 1 of the National Cirriculum.
