Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage

Here at St Andrew’s, the staff and children are really proud of our Early Years Foundation Stage and love coming to school to learn and have fun. We hope you enjoy finding out about our Pre school and Reception classes and sharing in all of the learning we are doing.
Our Pre school now offers both 15 and 30 hours provision. This is free for parents who are eligible - check www.gov.uk to find out if you may be eligible. If you aren't, we can still offer 30 hours at a cost. Contact the school office for further formation. Our Pre school can accommodate up to 16 children and they are supported by 2 adults.
Our Reception has two classes - Apple and Cherry. Our setting is spread over a spacious and bright unit. Each class has room for 30 children and there are a minimum of 2 adults in each class.
