What is the Early Years Foundation Stage?

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is the learning,  development   and care of children from birth to 5yrs. Here at

Ordsall Primary School our EYFS is Phase 1 of our school.   

Children in Phase 1 are aged 3 to 5 years. In Phase 1 we have a nursery for part time(15hrs) and a full time (30hrs) children aged 3-4 years and three reception classes for children aged 4-5 years.

Each of the nursery classes have a class name and are named after  influential artists. The part time nursery/15hrs is Kandinsky Class and the full time nursery/30hrs is Klee Class. The three reception classes are known as Hockney, Renoir and Morris Classes.
