Psalm 127:3

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.

The subject leader for Early Years Foundation Stage is Mrs Sadie Nickson.

 

 

St. Anne's R.C. Primary School is committed to providing a high-quality Early Years education that meets the needs of all children in our care.

In the Catholic community of St Anne’s, we recognise the worth and potential of individual pupils as children of God. It follows, therefore, that we: 

• Recognise their unique nature as human beings , regardless of background, abilities or experiences; 

• Recognise that each individual is God’s own reflection- fundamentally and intrinsically good; 

• Promote the concepts of self-discipline and responsibility for one’s own actions for the good of all; 

• Promote the belief that peace, hope and reconciliation are central to the Roman Catholic faith. 

• Promote an understanding of the seven Catholic social teaching principles. 

Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high-quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up. 

At St Anne's RC Primary School, we follow the EYFS statutory framework, which sets the standard 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 and gives children the broad range of knowledge and skills that provide the right foundation for good future progress.
