Foundation Stage

Ofsted November 2022-

There is excellent provision for children in all the areas of learning in the early years. Children settle rapidly into school. They are ready to learn because of the highly effective transition arrangements.

There are excellent and well-embedded behaviour and learning routines that start in Reception.

Pupils’love of reading starts in Reception and continues throughout the school.

Children make an exceptionally strong start in learning to read. They rapidly grasp phonics.

The Early Years Provision is outstanding and children get off to a flying start! Ofsted 2016

The Foundation Stage

We would like to welcome all of our new children to Highfields Primary school.

Entering Reception at Highfields Primary School is your child’s first step on their school journey. We recognise that this is a huge transition for both children and their parents. We look forward to working with you and your child to develop their lifelong love of learning. We will work in partnership with you to develop your child’s self- esteem, confidence and growing independence. In your child's first year at Highfields we will build strong foundations to help your child foster a love of learning.
