Early Years Foundation Stage

Welcome to Shiremoor Primary School Early Years!

 

Building foundations for Key Stage One

We aspire to be storytellers, artists, explorers, inventors, chefs and outdoor enthusiasts.

We are friends, unique and respect each other.

A challenge - we can do anything!

 

At Shiremoor Primary School, our Early Years is where the journey to success begins. We are committed to giving every child the very best start, ensuring that no learning time is missed and that every moment counts.

We focus on the foundations of early reading, phonics, and mathematics, while placing a strong emphasis on the prime areas of speaking, listening, and communicating. By developing these essential skills, we prepare children not only for Key Stage One, but for a lifetime of learning and opportunity.

Our children are encouraged to aspire to be their best selves, knowing that they can go on to achieve the best careers and futures. We foster curiosity, independence, and resilience, alongside creativity and play, so that every child develops a love of learning and the confidence to succeed.

In our Early Years, we aspire to be:
✨ Storytellers – confident in sharing ideas and building vocabulary.
🎨 Artists – expressing creativity and imagination.
🌍 Explorers – discovering knowledge about the world around us.
💡 Inventors – problem-solvers and thinkers with big ideas.
👩‍🍳 Chefs – learning through real-life experiences.
🌿 Outdoor enthusiasts – active, adventurous, and connected to nature.

Above all, we are friends, we are unique, and we respect each other. With high expectations, purposeful learning, and a nurturing environment, we believe that every child can rise to a challenge - because at Shiremoor, we can do anything!
