Welcome to the Foundation Stage

2023-24

The early years at home are the years in which a child learns more quickly than at any other time in his/her life. You are obviously your child's first teachers and then when your child starts in our Foundation Stage, we become partners in your child’s life. Through our early years curriculum and childcare provision we strive to make a positive contribution to your child’s early development and provide a foundation for lifelong learning.

We value all our families and communication with parents is very important to us at St. Mary’s. Please ensure that you check this website and class dojo regularly, so we can show you what we have been learning and support you to help your child in their learning. By working as a team, we can ensure that your child has a secure foundation for their future learning.

'Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.'
