At Caldecote Primary School, we believe that the early years are a special and important stage in every child’s learning journey. Our EYFS curriculum provides a nurturing, stimulating and inclusive environment where children feel happy, safe and valued, enabling them to develop confidence, independence and a lifelong love of learning.

Through a balance of purposeful play, exciting first-hand experiences and carefully planned teaching, children develop knowledge and skills across the seven areas of learning. We place great importance on developing communication, language, curiosity and creativity, while supporting every child to grow socially, emotionally and academically.

The Characteristics of Effective Learning are at the heart of everything we do, helping children become resilient, active and enthusiastic learners who are ready for the next stage of their education. We work closely with parents and carers, recognising that strong partnerships between home and school help every child to flourish and achieve their very best.
