EYFS
Hello welcome to Corpus Christi EYFS
At Corpus Christi EYFS, we want our Early Years children to be happy, confident and enthusiastic learners who develop through playing, exploring and critical thinking. We encourage an "I can try, I can do it!" ethos across the setting and aim to instil this approach within the children.
We teach the EYFS curriculum through a series of topics that change on a regular basis. There is a balance between adult directed and child-initiated learning. Teaching and learning through play take place both indoors and outdoors all year round. For more information on the National Curriculum click here.
Enrichment
We enrich the curriculum as much as possible and regularly have visitors and guests into school. These include drama workshops, authors and science visitors.
We are fortunate enough to be part of the Royal Academy of Music.
Reception children are taught weekly by specialist music teachers from the Royal Academy of Music. These lessons are in preparation for learning how to play a string instrument in Year 1 and Year 2.
We enjoy visits to Brockwell Community Gardens, Brixton Windmill, Brixton Library and the Ritzy Cinema to enhance our learning beyond the classroom. Nursery also visit Battersea Park Zoo and Reception visit Bockett's Farm in Surrey.
School/Home Partnership
We work in continuous partnership with parents/ carers and welcome them to be involved in school life as much as possible. We are very proud of the positive relationships with our families, welcoming them into our catholic community. We aim to keep parents/ carers continuously informed about what the children are learning about and how they can help at home.
Catholic Life
Children begin to grow their understanding of our Catholic Faith in EYFS by being encouraged to wonder and ask questions such as Who is God? and Who is Jesus Christ? We teach our school daily prayers, partake in school collective worship and perform the Nativity performance for our families. We enjoy visits to our church and welcome visits from Father Matthew.
Pupil Leadership
EYFS are introduced to leadership roles through being part of the ‘Little Buds’. We are responsible for planting across our school.
