EYFS

At St Mary’s we believe that every child is unique. We provide an engaging environment and curriculum that encourages children to develop positive friendships, resilience, independence, compassion for one another and a love of learning. Our children develop a range of skills including literacy and mathematics skills, enabling them to achieve excellence in their Early Learning Goals. We teach pre-cursive handwriting to enable beautiful script as they develop writing skills and give phonics a great emphasis in our everyday teaching so our children are able to access our wider school curriculum. We want children to feel safe, valued and have the confidence to succeed to the best of their abilities.​ We feel this gives them the best possible start to their primary school journey.
