At Wessex, we believe the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is crucial in securing solid foundations that children can continue to build upon through their school life. It is our intent that the children who enter our EYFS develop physically, socially, emotionally, verbally and cognitively whilst embedding a positive attitude to school and learning.

The curriculum in Early Years is designed to provide a broad and balanced play-based education that meets the needs of all pupils. Our enhanced outdoor environment supports learning and enables a wide range of learning opportunities for all children. The curriculum is designed to allow children to gain skills, knowledge and understanding, as they start out on their educational journey, supporting them as they progress from their individual starting points and prepare our children for the next stage of their education. Those children with needs, including SEND, are supported appropriately enabling them to be successful.
