Reception Class
Welcome to EYFS at Byerley Park Primary School
We are delighted to welcome you and your child to the Early Years Foundation Stage at Byerley Park Primary School. The first year of school is a vital foundation for future learning. It's where children begin to explore who they are, build friendships and develop a sense of belonging within our school community. We place great emphasis on helping each child become confident, independent and curious learners. Through play, exploration and meaningful learning experiences we nurture their ability to make choices, solve problems and express themselves.
Our EYFS curriculum is designed around seven key areas of learning:
Prime Areas
- Communication and Language
- Physical Development
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Specific Areas
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
Each area is carefully woven into our daily activities to ensure that learning is fun, engaging and tailored to each child's unique interests and needs.
