EYFS
Our School Values and Vision
Our ‘6 C’s embrace and embody our schools values and we instil these from the start of a child’s learning journey with us:
Collaboration- working together, ensuring collective participation, working towards a common overall outcome.
Communication- an umbrella that encompasses speaking and listening, conveying information through the use of written and spoken language.
Consideration- thoughtfulness and sensitivity to others.
Consistency- the key to achieving great learning outcomes.
Commitment-to strive and embrace difficulty with optimism.
Celebration- instilling a love of learning as well as having a very significant and positive impact on learners’ memory, motivation and other cognitive functions.
Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up. At Oakfield, we pride ourselves in building strong relationships with children and adults, from their very first step joining our family.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. It promotes teaching and learning to ensure children’s ‘school readiness’ and gives children the broad range of knowledge and skills that provide the right foundation for good future progress through school and life.
