Early Years

Early Years

We at TGS believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in their early years, and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future. A secure, safe, and happy childhood is important. Good parenting and high-quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow

Staff at TGS believe that every child is unique, developing in different ways and at different rates, and they are constantly learning to be resilient, capable, and self-assured. We acknowledge that children learn strength and independence through positive relationships and thrive in environments tailored to their individual needs, emphasizing a strong teacher-parent partnership.

At TGS, effective teaching and learning are characterized by providing opportunities for play and exploration. All students will ‘have a go’! We believe in active learning where children concentrate and keep on trying if they encounter difficulties, to create and think critically, and learn to enjoy their achievements. We encourage children to develop their own ideas, make links between ideas, and develop strategies for doing things.

Curriculum

Children are born ready, able and eager to learn. They actively reach out to interact with other people, and with the world around them. Development is not an automatic process, It depends on each unique child having opportunities to interact in positive relationships and enabling environments. The best outcomes can be achieved when parents and teachers work together to support the development and well-being of our children.

Thomas Gall School adopts our tailor-made curriculum based on the Early Years Foundation Stage(EYFS) framework and the Edexcel iPrimary Reception programme,which sets standards for children's learning, development, and care from birth to age 5. All teachers have full access to teaching resources directly from Pearson Edexcel through the ActiveLearn platform, providing them with the tools and materials neededto deliver engaging, high-quality lessons that support each child's unique learning journey.
