Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) covers Nursery and Reception.
We have two Nursery classes (Cherry Tree and Apple Tree) and three Reception classes (Lemon Tree, Lime Tree and Orange Tree).
The phase leader is our Assistant Headteacher, Farzanah Seedat.
