The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) in our school is the period from which children begin at the age of 3 until the end of the Reception year.

The EYFS is the start of every child’s educational journey in our school and is the foundation on which they build the rest of their lives. For this reason at Settle C.E. Primary School we greatly value the importance of the EYFS and want to give children the best possible start to their school career.

This policy highlights the aims, principles and strategies adopted in teaching the Early Years Foundation Stage at Settle C.E. Primary School.
