Welcome to EYFS at Greengates Primary Academy
At Greengates Primary Academy, we provide a secure and stimulating environment, where our children are nurtured into becoming happy and confident members of our academy. Children in Nursery and Reception access the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. They engage in learning through first-hand experiences that foster investigation and enquiry. The Early Years curriculum is made up of 7 areas of learning: 3 prime and 4 specific.
Prime Areas
The prime areas of the EYFS are: Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED), Communication and Language (C&L) and Physical Development (PD).
Specific Areas
The specific areas of the EYFS are: Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design.
