Early years foundation stage
At Tameside Primary Academy we aim to provide the highest quality care and early education for all pupils; providing a strong foundation for their future learning.
We work hard to ensure the underlying principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage are at heart of our practice by providing a safe and happy environment with challenging and enjoyable experiences that enable children to become confident and independent learners.
We value the individual child and work alongside parents and others to meet their needs; helping every child in starting a successful journey with us.
The Early Years Curriculum consists of three prime areas:
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Personal, social and emotional development
These elements are represented across the four specific areas of:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding world
- Expressive arts and design
We encourage pupils to make discoveries and develop enquiry in both the indoor and outdoor environments throughout the year. We place the same emphasis on core values in the early years as we do across the academy and the same high expectations of ourselves and each other.
Our skilled team is led by Vice Principal, Claire Keeler, an Early Years Specialist Leader in Education with huge experience of ensuring outstanding provision for our Nursery and Reception children.
