At Broadhurst School, we believe the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is a vital and formative part of every child’s learning journey. Our play-based curriculum is carefully designed to inspire curiosity, creativity and confidence, while providing children with the strong academic foundations they need to flourish.
We recognise that young children learn best through meaningful experiences, active exploration and warm, secure relationships. Play lies at the heart of our approach and is fundamental to children’s cognitive, social, emotional and physical development. Through a carefully planned balance of adult-led teaching, child-initiated learning and purposeful play, children develop independence, resilience, communication skills and a genuine love of learning.
Small class sizes allow teachers and teaching assistants to build strong relationships with every child, ensuring learning is responsive to individual interests, strengths and developmental needs. We place great importance on nurturing the whole child, supporting wellbeing, emotional security and self-esteem alongside academic progress.
