Early Years Foundation Stage (Reception)
At Leeming RAF CP School we recognise that all children develop in individual ways, at varying rates. Every child is a competent learner who can be resilient, confident and self assured. All children are given an excellent start in their education through creative and innovative teaching and learning experiences.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is for children from birth to five years of age. The first year in school, which we call Reception Year, is the final year of the EYFS.
All of the requirements set out in the National EYFS documents are in place and all staff adhere to the recommendations.
