The Early Years are an extremely important part of your child's journey into education. Through purposeful play, adult-led and child-led activities, your child will learn key skills that will encourage independence, curiosity and support them to develop a love of learning.

Our curriculum has been created to: recognise children's prior learning, provide first-hand learning experience, ensure high-quality interactions with adults, provide a language-rich environment and inspire children to become HAPPY, VALUED, CURIOUS, AMBITIOUS, TOLERANT, RESPECTFUL, CONFIDENT, CONSIDERATE, INDEPENDENT, RESILIENT, ENTHUSIASTIC, SUCCESSFUL learners. 

Our curriculum reflects the needs of the children in our school, and we use our knowledge and understanding of the children’s backgrounds and experiences to develop goals which are achievable and support us in establishing high expectations for all our learners. 

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework supports and guides the development of our curriculum and environment at Stokenchurch.
