Early Years

Early Years Education at Brighton Avenue Primary School.

We have a very supportive and caring Early Years Team, who are dedicated to providing only the best possible school experiences for your child. We understand that starting both Nursery and full time school can be a daunting experience, but we want to ensure you that your child will have an outstanding beginning to their education with us. We know that you as a parent/carer have already played an important role in your child’s development and we want to build upon this to make the next stage of their journey a very positive one. We have an open door policy encouraging close home and school relationships because we aim to work in partnership.

Brighton Avenue staff are here to ensure that your child feels secure, happy, valued and eager to learn in our outstanding setting.

Teaching within the Early Years follows the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage. This revised framework was effective from September 2012, taking forward the reforms to the 2008 framework. Staff use the Development Matters 2012 in order to support the implementation of the EYFS framework 2012. Teaching within the Early Years focuses upon seven key areas of learning for the child. Activities are then planned in accordance with these key areas.
