Elm (Reception)

At Stapleford Community Primary School we believe that the Early Years are critical in children’s development and that the EYFS builds a firm basis for future learning, development and independence. We aim to:

Provide a happy, secure, well-ordered and stimulating environment, where children can develop as independent individuals through interaction with sensitive adults and other children.
Offer a broad and balanced curriculum which extends previous learning and covers the seven areas of learning as set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework (Sept 2012).
Ensure that children develop positive attitudes to learning, self-motivation, curiosity, confidence and responsibility.
Provide children with first hand learning experiences rooted in purposeful play in which they can become actively engaged, expressing thoughts, ideas and feelings.
Develop the whole child socially, spiritually, emotionally, physically and intellectually.
Develop and maintain partnership with parents and others including other professionals who are involved with the development of the child.

Wow Cards

Help us to celebrate your child’s achievements…

In Elm Class, we get as excited as you do watching your child grow and develop, and would like to celebrate all their achievements - whether they happen at school or at home with you. We would love to hear from you about the things your child enjoys or achieves. It helps us to create a ‘well-rounded’ picture of who your child really is.

On “WOW cards” you can share with us any WOW moments in your child’s life. For example, they shared their toys with a friend, they read road signs, they got dressed by themselves, they learnt how to ride a bike without stabilisers, they made up a story with their toys, how they built a tall lego tower, and many more besides! These cards will be celebrated in class and then will form part of their “Learning Journeys”
