Early Years at Caythorpe - Our Vision
At Caythorpe Primary School we believe that by equipping children with a strong foundation in early years, we intend to lay the groundwork for their lifelong learning journey.
Our vision for children's education is rooted in providing a stimulating and enriching environment that maximizes their learning potential, fosters their overall development, and prepares them for future success.
Our intent is to create a culture of curiosity, exploration, and active engagement, where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn.
Our curriculum is broad and balanced and is designed to allow opportunities to revisit and build on previous learning through our expanding topics that inspire the children. We balance taught tasks with opportunities for the children to independently apply this knowledge in their play.
We believe that our children should have as many real-life opportunities and experiences as possible and so we regularly attend forest school, enjoy baking, welcome visitors to support learning and attend school trip.
We encourage our children to become independent thinkers, problem solvers and show resilient through ‘Purposeful Play’ where the children are taught to plan, carry out and review a learning plan. We believe that children learn best from active learning experiences, which they can plan and carry out themselves taking responsibility for selecting apparatus independently and solving problems, with support, to achieve their goal.
