Early Years

Foundation Stage Lead: Mr Croft

"Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved." - Winnie the Pooh

Children in the early years, including in the Nursery Year, get off to a flying start. They listen carefully to adults’ instructions.

Children enjoy a well-thought-out curriculum that meets their learning needs. As a result, children are well prepared to embrace the demands of the key stage 1 curriculum.

Early Years Foundation Stage - Universal Offer

At Manor Primary School we provide the highest standards of teaching and learning by engaging, inspiring, challenging and supporting children to do their best and develop a love of learning. To do this we create a respectful and inclusive atmosphere that is welcoming, fun, friendly and safe through child-led and techer-initiated continuous provision 'learning though play'. The continuous provision universal offer follows a two year cycle and is inspired though a carefully curated book spine, enriched and expanded by the pupils interests.

Your Child's Learning Journey

To support your child's learning, progression and achievement towards their Early Learning Goals whilst part of our Foundation Unit we are guided and informed by two key documents. Firstly 'Development Matters' a non-statutory curriculum guidance produced by the Department for Education, and secondly, 'Birth to Five Matters' a non-statutory guidance produced by the Early Years Coalition. You can access these documents below.
