Foundation Stage Provision in the East Riding of Yorkshire
Original logo designed by an East Riding primary school pupil. |
Due to the extremely rural nature of many parts of the East Riding of Yorkshire there is a
wide range of provision for the region's young children.
The Foundation Stage provision includes (hyperlinks available in the coloured panel below in alphabetical order) the following features.
Early Years FS - Direction of Travel
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is about improving life chances for all children, by giving them the opportunity to have
the best possible start, regardless of their family circumstances or the setting they attend.
The EYFS will be designed to deliver improved outcomes for all children, across every area of learning and development.
We know that there are particular gains for disadvantaged children from early access to high quality care and education and we will
focus on closing the achievement gap between those children and others.

Early Admissions Classes
Some primary and infant schools operate early admissions classes with a single
intake in September of each year.
This means that all children are admitted to school at the start
of the school year in which they will have their 5th birthday.
