At St. Augustine’s, we recognise how important the early years are in shaping a child’s future. Through high-quality experiences, we aim to spark curiosity, build confidence and nurture a lifelong love of learning.
In both F1 (Nursery) and F2 (Reception) we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, providing a balanced and engaging curriculum, centered around the areas of:
This includes:
Children learn through play and exploration, where they discover, investigate, and have a go; through active learning, where they concentrate, persevere, and enjoy their successes; and through creative and critical thinking, where they develop ideas, make connections, and solve problems.
We are proud to offer a safe, stimulating and inclusive environment where wellbeing comes first. Our dedicated staff go the extra mile for every child and every family, ensuring everyone feels supported and included.
Our progressive approach helps children grow into confident, independent and motivated learners, fully prepared for the next stage of their education.
