Early Years Foundation Stage
OSFTED 2017 " You and your leadership team have worked tirelessly to tackle the issues from the last inspection. Significant investment in the physical environment has improved the range and quality of opportunities available for children in the early years. Children therefore learn and play together well at different times, inside and outdoors"
The EYFS at Hindhayes
Baseline and on entry assessments have shown that many children are working below Age Related Expectation on entry to school. In response to this, the provision at Hindhayes is carefully structured and planned to diminish differences for children, whilst at the same time promoting best progress. The work of the Early Years team is fully supported by the SLT, is rooted in high quality play provision both inside and outside the class and is responsive to the individual needs of children. The learning environment both indoors and out allows children to play and explore, to take part in active learning and to develop the skills they need to create and think critically. A bespoke Early Years SEF allows the SLT to monitor the strengths and weaknesses of early years provision. An Early Years County Moderator on the staff ensures that end of year standards are broadly in line with National Expectations. Rigorous teaching of early reading, writing and maths ensures that most children leave the EYFS ready to access the year 1 curriculum.
