Our Vision for Learning at Holy Family
We want our teaching to:
- Build strong Catholic values, helping our students understand themselves and stand up for what’s right in all situations.
- Make students great at reading, writing, and maths across all subjects. We want them to enjoy learning, achieve high standards and have high aspirations.
- Create exciting learning experiences that students will always remember, teaching them skills that supports lifelong learning.
- Help every student feel proud of what they achieve and see why their learning matters. We want them to discover what they’re skills and talents are and acheive a growth mindset.
- Teach students to be kind and respectful to everyone, no matter their faith, background, or gender. We want them to care for others, our environment and be ready for life in our changing world.
Curriculum in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. It promotes teaching and learning to ensure children’s ‘school readiness’ and gives children the broad range of knowledge and skills that provide the right foundation for good future progress through school and life.
A summary of the framework is outlined below. Please click on the image.
Throughout the Nursery and Reception, we follow the statutory framework for EYFS, supported by non-statutory guidance set out in a document called Development Matters in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
