Within the Early Years at Starcross Primary School, we are passionate about children being happy, confident, well-rounded individuals with a love for learning. We believe that the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is crucial in securing solid foundations that children will continue to build upon throughout their lives.
In these first years at school – children’s learning and confidence grows in leaps and bounds. Here at Starcross Primary, we offer high quality adult interactions to develop and support children’s learning, alongside purposeful and exciting daily child-initiated opportunities. We are fortunate to have access to an on-site nature area and outdoor learning space for every EYFS classroom.
