Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

It is always an exciting and anxious time, in equal measure, when a child starts school. Here at Keyingham Primary School we do all we can to ensure that children (and parents/carers!) feel as welcomed and familiar with their new surroundings as possible. 

We recognise that every child has their own personality and individual needs, and see it as our responsibility to provide them with a warm, safe and nurturing environment in which to grow and thrive.

The bespoke EYFS environment at Keyingham Primary houses our Nursery (FS1) and Reception (FS2) classes and the area is exceptionally well-equipped for both indoor and outdoor ‘learning through play’ activities.

Our dedicated, enthusiastic staff work hard to ensure every child feels secure and happy and we pride ourselves on our positive and nurturing relationships which enable all children to be strong, confident and independent.

Please contact our EYFS Leader, Miss Chadwick, at school or email admin@keyinghamprimary.co.uk or phone 01964 622319 for more information.

Our EYFS School Day:

Our main focus for EYFS learning is to observe and teach through child-led, play-based learning. However, we also deliver several discreet lessons throughout the day in our EYFS classes. We place a high priority on pupils learning systematic, synthetic phonics through the Read Write Inc. scheme and we also teach a Maths session every day. Other routines we follow are daily story sessions and group snack times to encourage communication and social skills.
