All you need to know about applying for a place for 2 Year Olds

Early Years Foundation Stage at Falconbrook Primary School is specially designed to enable children from diverse backgrounds to settle happily into school routines and gain confidence within the learning environment, creating a strong foundation for their successful advancement to KS1 and KS2.

It begins with home visits to gain insight and understanding of the individual child before school starts to ensure relevant resources and support are available during the settling period. When school terms commences, teachers devote efforts to:

  • Building and improving children’s language skills
  • Creating inviting learning environments
  • Providing resources and opportunities to encourage independent creative exploration and increase engagement in their learning.

All of the children’s learning is based upon their own interests and fascinations. EY pupils feel happy and secure, are exceptionally engaged in learning and make strong progress in reading and writing at Falconbrook Primary School.
