Early Years at Holy Trinity Rosehill CofE Primary

At Holy Trinity Rosehill CofE Primary School, our Early Years provision consists of both Nursery and Reception classes. We offer a curriculum that is rich in wonder, curiosity, and inspirational experiences, all underpinned by the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Our learning environment is thoughtfully designed to spark excitement and imagination. It offers stimulating opportunities that encourage challenge, exploration, and adventure—fostering a genuine love of learning in every child.

We are committed to nurturing the whole child. Our aim is for every pupil to grow physically, verbally, cognitively, and emotionally within a setting that celebrates diversity and values all cultures and communities. We strive to help children develop confidence, independence, and the ability to form positive relationships with others.

At the heart of our curriculum is a deep belief in the power of play. We recognise that a balanced approach—combining meaningful adult-led activities with uninterrupted child-initiated play—leads to the most effective learning. We understand the vital role the Early Years plays in laying strong foundations for each child’s future success, and we are proud to be a part of that journey.

How do we live out our Vision and Values in EYFS?

	We value everyone in our school as unique individuals with skills and talents which we nurture and seek opportunities for them to grow. We strive to equip everyone with the skills they need to flourish in God’s beautiful world. Everyone in our school has a voice and is truly valued for all that they bring to our school family and the wider world.
	Emotional Well Being: Our children and families feel secure in their relationships with us. We make them feel emotionally connected so they can make secure attachments and develop trusting friendships.
	Inclusivity: We welcome and support all children and families as equal partners and learn from them. We adapt and improve our provision to ensure our compassion ‘enables’ all.
	Love of Learning: We support our children and families to develop their effectiveness and endurance as lifelong learners. In our school community we are all learners who recognise that making a mistake is a learning opportunity.
	Creativity: We are thankful for and celebrate imagination, problem solving, unique thinking and artistic creativity. We take the lead from individuals and nurture their inspiration.
	Personal Journeys: Everyone comes to our school with a journey to share so we listen and use it to celebrate individuality. Making a mistake is forgiven and provides a learning opportunity.
