EYFS Vision Statement
We aim to ignite a lifelong passion for learning in every pupil. In order to do this, we intend to include, inspire and invest in every pupil through our bespoke EYFS curriculum.
In the Early Years at Killinghall Primary School we want children to be happy and confident individuals with a love for learning. We believe in providing all children with a safe and stimulating environment that builds on each individual’s wants, needs and interests.
Children should have the opportunity to be ‘nurtured’ to independence through play. Learning through play should be fun, engaging and suitably challenging. Adults provide high quality interactions where they are role models for learning. We expect everyone to do their very best and develop their strengths.
We are committed to providing the best possible start to their school life, teaching them skills and giving them wider experiences, which will ensure their well-being now and success in the future and ensure they use their voice to express themselves effectively.
