Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
At Anston park Infant school we want all of our children to enjoy a positive start to their education. We aim to ensure that all children feel happy and settled within our setting and have opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills through a range of play based and structured activities. Children will be provided with a high quality, language rich learning environment both indoors and outdoors that motivates and inspires them to learn.
The EYFS curriculum covers different areas of learning. There are 7 areas of learning; 3 prime areas and 4 specific areas .
The areas of learning are subdivided into 17 aspects. These are divided into overlapping age bands that culminate in the early learning goals (ELGs). We are striving for all children to achieve all the ELGs by the end of FS2.
