Our Intent
At Monteagle Primary School, our EYFS provision creates a safe, inclusive and language rich environment where every child feels happy and valued. We offer a balance of child led play and carefully planned adult led learning that helps children build strong foundations across all areas of development.
We place a strong focus on high quality interactions and talk, ensuring every child is listened to and supported to develop their communication and confidence. Our staff know our children well and plan experiences that spark curiosity, build independence and encourage a love of learning. We provide targeted support for children with SEND and additional needs, making sure every child has the opportunity to succeed and make progress from their starting points.
Our curriculum is designed to be responsive and meaningful, following children’s interests while developing key knowledge and skills. It nurtures confident, independent learners who show our school values of respect, trust and hard work. By the end of EYFS, our children are ready to move into Key Stage 1 with curiosity, resilience and a genuine love of learning.
Our Implementation
Our EYFS provision is warm, well planned and a stimulating environment that encourages exploration, independence and purposeful learning. Practitioners balance child led and adult led experiences so children can revisit, apply and extend their learning across all areas of development.
We invest in ongoing staff training to build language rich classrooms where talk, curiosity and high quality interactions are at the heart of every day.Practitioners use observations to identify developmental gaps and SEND needs early, creating tailored individual plans.
Progress is monitored through regular team discussions and feedback cycles, helping us refine our practice and ensure every child makes strong progress. Working closely with families and outside agencies, we provide timely support and celebrate every child’s achievements. Through this consistent, caring and reflective approach, our children grow into confident, curious and resilient learners, ready to thrive in Key Stage 1.
Our Impact
By the end of EYFS, children at Monteagle Primary School are confident, curious and resilient learners. They make progress from their starting points, with gaps and SEND needs addressed early. Children develop strong communication and social skills, a love of learning, and independence, while beginning to demonstrate our values of respect, trust and hard work, giving them the skills to thrive in Key Stage 1 and beyond.
