King's School Foundation Stage
Foundation Stage is where we prepare children for entry to King's School Reception class. We develop the knowledge, skills and confidence that will enable them to make a smooth transition to the next stage of their life at King's.
In July 2011 we were awarded the coveted Bristol Standard Award for Quality and Effectiveness of Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provision.
Here in the Foundation Stage, we aim to provide a high quality education for children aged 3 to 5 years. We do this through a safe and secure yet challenging environment both indoors and out, in line with the six areas of learning and development. These are underpinned by the Principles of the Early Foundation Stage. The six areas of learning are:
- Communication, language and literacy
- Problem solving, reasoning and numeracy
- Personal, social and emotional development
- Knowledge and understanding of the world
- Physical development
- Creative development.
