At Sacred Heart, we aim to give each child a happy, enthusiastic environment to flourish in. At the heart of everything we do – is ensuring every child is happy and feels safe.
We encourage children to develop independence; to support children in building relationships through the development of social skills; to help each child to recognise their own strengths and achievements through encouraging success and by developing the resilience to work towards personal goals whilst exploring risk taking in a safe and age appropriate way.
We follow the EYFS Framework embracing the 7 key areas of learning:
Prime areas
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Personal, social and emotional development
The prime areas are strengthened and applied through 4 specific areas:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive arts and design

At Sacred Heart we incorporate the Characteristics of Effective Learning into our Foundation Unit in a child friendly way, we have 3 characters which represent each characteristic.
