Children learn and develop at a faster rate from birth to five years old than at any other time in their lives, so their experiences in early years have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe, and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high-quality early learning provide the foundation children need to fulfil their potential.”** (Early years foundation stage statutory framework. **Welcome to the Skylark Class of 2026-2027** A warm welcome to our Reception Class who are taught by Mrs Parker (Monday- Wednesday), Mrs McGirl (Tuesday - Friday), and supported daily by our Teaching Assistants, Mrs Holmes, Mrs Durnan and Miss. Demery (mornings only). **Our Curriculum** In Reception we follow the EYFS Statutory Framework. The children learn through well planned play opportunities, with a balance of teacher directed activities and child-initiated learning. The curriculum section on our school website provides an overview of the learning that will take place over the year, so please look on the EYFS tab for further information. We will also keep you regularly informed on our Seesaw app about what we are learning in class so that you can continue to support your child at home. Important Times We have a P.E. slot on Tuesday each week. Please ensure your child’s kit is always kept in school and all clothes are labelled. They will be sent home to be washed at the end of each half term. Children with long hair will need it tied back for P.E. Earrings cannot be worn in P.E. On Fridays we have a whole school celebration worship. If your child has received a certificate or trophy for an out of school achievement, they are welcome to bring it in to share on this day. Whilst the children are settling into school life, we will hold our celebration worship in class for the Autumn term. Each week the children will visit our school library. Please ensure reading books are always kept in bookbags so they get the opportunity to change them. Each day we have snack time in the classroom where the children are encouraged to have one piece of school fruit every day. You are also welcome to send your child with a piece of fruit or vegetable (clearly labelled) for an extra snack in the afternoon if you wish. Please ensure your child brings in a named water bottle to school every day. Please refrain from filling your child’s bottle with juice. We encourage the children to drink water at all times. ### EYFS Curriculum EYFS Curriculum Overview 2026 416 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/Overview_Skylarks_2026_(002).pdf) Communication and Language Knowledge and Skills Progression 153 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/C-L_Knowledge_and_Skills_Progression_(1).pdf) Literacy Knowledge and Skills Progression 173 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/Literacy_Knowledge_and_Skills__Progression_2.pdf) Mathematics Knowledge and Skills Progression 214 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/Mathematics_Knowledge_and_Skills_Progression_2.pdf) Physical Development Knowledge and Skills Progression 165 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/Physical_Development__Knowledge_and_Skills_Progression(2).pdf) Personal, Social, Emotional Development Knowledge and Skills Progression 247 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/PSE-D__Knowledge_and_Skills_Progression(2).pdf) Expressive Arts Knowledge and Skills Progression 222 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/Expressive_Arts__Knowledge_and_Skills_Progression_(2).pdf) Understanding the World Knowledge and Skills Progression 168 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/Understanding_the_World_Knowledge_and_Skills_Progression_(2).pdf) ### EYFS ELG Parent Information 399 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/Early_Learning_Goals-_parent_and_carers_guide.pdf) EYFS Statutory Framework 494 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/EYFS_statutory_framework_for_group_and_school_-_based_providers.pdf) Reception Baseline Assessment Information 425 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/2022_Information_for_parents_reception_baseline_assessment.pdf) Am I ready for school 5.98 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/files/documents/am-i-ready-for-school-checklist-for-parents(1).pdf) ### Classes - [Skylark Class](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/children/skylark-class) - [Oystercatcher Class](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/children/oystercatcher-class) - [Eiderduck Class](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/children/eiderduck-class) - [Turnstone Class](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/children/turnstone-class) - [Dunlin Class](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/children/dunlin-class) - [Lapwing Class](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/children/lapwing-class) - [Curlew Class](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/children/curlew-class) ![St. Peter's C of E Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/st-peter-s-c-of-e-primary-school/images/logo/Home_logo_(1)-st-peters.png) ### St. Peter's C of E Primary School School Road Heysham LA3 2RF 01524 852155 ### Chair of Governors Information - [Mr Matthew Entwistle](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/governors) - [Chairofgovernors@stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/heyshamstpetersprimary) - [X](https://twitter.com/StPetersCofEPri) © Copyright 2023–2026 St. Peter's C of E Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stpetersheysham.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
