We are delighted to announce that our Early Years setting has more received the Early Years Basic Skills Quality Mark, which promotes and supports the development of young children in their communication, language and early mathematical skills. It is a national kite mark that recognises a school’s commitment to the on-going development of pupils’ literacy and numeracy skills within the EYFS.

Upon receiving this award, we were highly praised for our strong links between school and home. It was noted that the commitment of our EYFS team and senior leaders ensure that parent/carer partnerships are secure and effective.

The environment with which the children learn and develop was highly praised due to the team’s commitment and positive attitudes towards children’s learning, development and interests.

The support of the subject leaders and senior leaders to our Early Years Team was recognised and it was pointed out that the EYFS team work hard to provide exciting and engaging environments and learning opportunities for the children.
