Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage at Rivington Foundation Primary School

We are a small unit and the children will work with all three staff members on a daily basis. Each child is required to have a Key Person in the EYFS. Mrs Davies is the Key Person for all Reception children and Mrs Orgill  is the Key Person for the Nursery children.   However, children and parents should feel free to approach any of us with any comments, questions or concerns. 🙂

At Rivington we are early adopters of the revised EYFS framework, 2020-21.

 

Under The Early Years Foundation Stage (Exemption from Learning and Development Requirements) and Childcare (Exemption from Registration) (Amendment) Regulations 2020, the Secretary of State for Education grants exemption from the following sections of the 2017 Early Years Foundation Stage statutory framework:

a) The educational programmes under EYFS paragraph 1.5; and

b) The early learning goals set out on pages 10 to 12 of the EYFS; and

c) The requirements set out in paragraph 2.6 to 2.11 of the EYFS relating to Assessments and moderation at the end of the reception year – the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile – which requires settings to complete the Profile and submit the same to the local authority.

Rivington will instead follow in full the EYFS reforms early adopter framework (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-adopter-schools-eyfs-framework).
