Our Reception teacher-Miss L McPartland
At St Mary’s, we ensure that the four guiding principles of the EYFS are fully embedded. These are:
- A unique child.
- Positive relationships.
- Enabling environments with teaching and support from adults.
- Learning and development.
The Characteristics of Effective Teaching and Learning run through our whole curriculum.
The characteristics are split into three categories:
- Playing and Exploring – engagement
- Active Learning – motivation
- Creating and Thinking Critically – thinking
