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.

Our Vision
At Newton Tony Primary School we are committed to providing children with the best possible start to school life, providing children with opportunities to follow their interests to ensure future success. Our EYFS team value the importance of providing an exceptional nurturing and caring approach. We strive to ensure our children are happy, enthusiastic and confident learners with aspirations to excel in all areas of learning. We aim to develop a love of learning by providing children with a safe, stimulating learning environment that build on each individual’s needs and interests. We believe learning should be fun, engaging and suitably challenging.
Our EYFS provides children with a broad and balanced curriculum of play-based activities alongside aspects of adult-directed teaching and learning opportunities. We aim to provide high-quality education for all our children, laying strong foundations for their future learning and development. Our stimulating learning environments, both inside and outside, provide children with a variety of resources to discover and explore through child-initiated play. Our classroom is accessible to all, allowing children to gain independence whilst exploring and learning safely. The immersive learning environments are highly stimulating and provide opportunities to develop crucial social, emotional and communication skills.
We value the importance of outdoor learning and believe that it should provide children with opportunities to develop their thinking and problem solving skills. We aim to replicate real-life learning experiences and provide practical, first hand learning opportunities to enhance children’s knowledge and understanding of the world around them.
We value our relationships with our parents/carers and this partnership is a key factor in the progress that children make during their time in our Early Years. We value parent communication to achieve the full picture of each individual child’s development and learning journey.
