Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage at Launde Primary School 😊

“Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfill 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.”

We truly embrace this at Launde Primary, and we’re committed to giving every child the best start possible. Our goal is to create a warm, safe, and fun environment where your little ones can thrive and feel right at home.

At Launde, we balance playful exploration with guided learning to help your child grow into confident, independent learners. Here’s a glimpse of the exciting themes we have planned for the year:

• Autumn 1: Me and My World
• Autumn 2: Superheroes & Celebrations
• Spring 1: Once Upon a Time
• Spring 2: Growing and Changing
• Summer 1: Our Wonderful World (local focus)
• Summer 2: Our Wonderful World (global focus)

We’re here to support your child’s development every step of the way and look forward to partnering with you to help them succeed.

At the end of Reception, we’ll provide an overview of your child’s progress in seven key areas, so you’ll know how they’re doing and what’s next.

We’re also excited to introduce ‘Tapestry,’ our new online system for tracking your child’s learning journey this year. With Tapestry, you can view updates anytime and add your own observations from home. Each child will also have a folder for their special creations and keepsakes.

We have some open days coming up as an opportunity to come and view our wonderful environment. We would very much like to meet you 😊
