Welcome to Upper Foundation Stage 

Welcome to our Early Years Foundation Stage at Callington Primary.

Our ethos behind everything we do stems from curiosity, creativity, capabilities and collaboration.

In Reception at CPS, the children immerse themselves in a world of opportunities, grounded in play-based learning. Each experience will ignite the children’s curiosity and creativity, draw on foundational knowledge linked to our CUSP curriculum, support the progression of skills and enable the children to create new and life-long memories.

Our learning environments include two indoor classrooms, set up for daily phonics sessions alongside high-quality provision spaces where the children can self-select their resources. The children also have regular access to our outdoor classroom which invites a world of exploration and messy play.

Our Curricular Goals set out what we believe are the key ingredients to support your child in building the best foundations possible.

Our adult-led experiences allow children to develop their specific skills and knowledge to become ready for their transition to Year 1 and the wider life of our school.

Our child-led projects allow the children to explore their own curiosities and creativities on a daily basis, working collaboratively with peers and adults, strengthening their oracy and building long-lasting relationships.

At CPS, our daily opportunities develop the holistic child and we further advocate for this through our half-termly enrichment experiences. These range from visitors both familiar and new, collaborative projects, local visits, exhibitions, half-termly forest schools, performances and most excitingly, our trip to the farm!
