Intent Statement

Our school vision statement 'Learning, growing and succeeding together' underpins our culture and ethos in the Early Years at Whitnash Primary School. We are passionate about children being happy, confident and kind individuals with a love for learning.

We believe that the Early Years Foundation Stage is crucial in securing solid foundations that children continue to build upon throughout their school life. It is our aim that the children who enter our EYFS develop physically, verbally, cognitively and emotionally whilst embedding a positive attitude to school and learning. We provide an engaging curriculum that maximises opportunities for meaningful cross-curricular links and learning experiences, as well as promoting the unique child by offering extended periods of play and sustained thinking. This is facilitated by warm, skilful adult interactions which support the children as they link learning to their play and exploration, and builds on each individual child’s needs and interests.

We work in partnership with our families, previous settings and other external agencies to provide the best possible start at Whitnash Primary School. We believe that all children deserve to be valued as an individual and we are passionate in allowing all learners to achieve their full, unique potential from their various starting points.
