The Oxton St Saviour's Early Years Foundation Stage

At Oxton St Saviours, we believe in nurturing, celebrating and developing children’s individual interests and skills. We aim to develop resilience in pupils and the confidence to always ‘give it a try’.

Here at Oxton St Saviours, we understand that the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) plays a pivotal part in this through the speed at which children develop and learn during their first 5 years. Because of this, we promote and hope to instil a love of learning within children that will inspire and challenge them through a balance of child-initiated, adult-guided and adult-led activities. Many of these activities are play-based and practical, and children can access them across both indoor and outdoor environments. Allowing children the opportunity to pursue their own interests, and explore independently, ensures that they know that their own ideas are valued. It also helps the children to become independent thinkers, problem solvers and risk-assessors. This helps to provide them with the best possible start to the rest of their journey through school, and beyond!
