Nursery & Reception
Early Years Intent
"All children who enter our EYFS will develop physically, verbally, cognitively and emotionally whilst embedding a positive, confident attitude to school. Developing oracy and thinking skills enabling children to reach their full potential."
At Beacon Academy, we believe all children should have the best possible start to their education, by having access to a progressive curriculum and language rich learning environments. To allow children to develop physically, verbally, cognitively and emotionally, whilst embedding a positive attitude to learning and school life.
Our curriculum has been designed with the intent for all children to develop their oracy and thinking skills, in an environment which supports the needs of all children and encourages children to practise and explore skills linked to the curriculum. We provide a stimulating environment that provides exciting opportunities, promotes challenge, exploration and independence. Our learning environment is adaptable in order to reflect children’s interests and progression. We offer indoor and outdoor experiences in Nursery and Reception in a language rich environment promoted by high quality adult interactions.. Learning opportunities are planned for and delivered through whole class teaching, small group teaching, and one to one sessions. Child initiated play is also a valued part of our Early Years curriculum,.
We value our parent/carer partnerships and strive to work collaboratively to support their children on their learning journey.
