Early Years Foundation Stage
Welcome to the EYFS at Farnham Green Primary School
At Farnham Green Primary School your child’s learning journey begins with the Early Years and Foundation Stage. This stage of education caters to children from three years old and provides them with the skills required to succeed at school. We believe that children need a safe, nurturing environment that piques their awe and wonder of the world. We aim to provide a stimulating, child-centred place of learning that promotes independent learning and confident, happy children.
The EYFS framework 2024:
Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage
Our curriculum milestones are based on 'Development Matters':
Children in the EYFS are assessed using The EYFS Profile. This summarises and describes children’s attainment at the end of the EYFS. It is based on ongoing observation and assessment in the three prime and four specific areas of learning, set out below:
The prime areas of learning:
communication and language
physical development
personal, social and emotional development
The specific areas of learning:
literacy
mathematics
understanding the world
expressive arts and design
Children are defined as having reached a good level of development (GLD) at the end of the EYFS if they have achieved at least the expected level in:
The early learning goals in the prime areas of learning(personal, social and emotional development; physical development; and communication and language) and
The early learning goals in the specific areas of mathematics and literacy.
The Good Level of Development of children at Farnham Green has increased year on year and we are now above National Averages for 2023 -2024 (67%).

Starting Reception is a huge milestone in the lives of children (and their families!). Much of the early part of the year is spent helping your child to settle into their new class, understand the school routines and build strong relationships with their teachers and peers. We aim to get to know each child, their needs and interests; our curriculum is designed to ensure that all children are nurtured and challenged. A parent questionnaire will be sent out to you in the coming weeks to capture the experience you have had joining the school.
We looking forward to hearing your views on this. Watch this space for the findings of the questionnaire.
