Early Years
Hello and welcome to the Foundation Stage at Parkfield Community School. Our teaching team consists of Mrs Lloyd, Mrs Williams, Mrs Greatorex and Miss Yafai. We also have a dedicated team of teaching assistants that include Miss Ahktar, Mrs Iqbal, Mrs Samad and Miss Ahmed.
In Reception and Nursery, the children have the opportunity to learn through play as well as through directed teaching sessions. In Nursery the children follow key topics throughout the year. In Reception the themes covered are directed by the children. During the year, the children have the opportunity to experience visitors into school as well as trips outside of school.
Visitors include Clever Chimps Story Telling and The Animal Man.
Trips include Ash End Children's Farm for Nursery and Twycross Zoo for Reception.
Our Intent
At Parkfield Community School we aim to provide the highest quality care and education for all of our children thereby giving them a strong foundation for their future learning. We create a safe and happy environment with motivating and enjoyable learning experiences that enable children to become confident and independent learners. We value the individual child and work alongside parents and carers to help every child reach their full potential.
As outlined in the ‘Statutory Framework for Early Years Foundation Stage’: ‘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.’
