Foundation Stage Curriculum

At Hautes Capelles Primary, we are incredibly lucky that alongside their classrooms the Foundation Stage children have access to additional shared space inside the building as well as their own dedicated outdoor space. This enables us to provide outdoor provision throughout the day for the children which we believe to be important.

From the first day the class start, we begin to teach them phonics with a sound a day following the Little Wandle scheme. Please see the video links below to help you when your child reads at home with you.
