Skylarks

 

At Hazelwood, we create a supportive atmosphere where each child's inquisitiveness is nurtured. We encourage pupils to hone their critical thinking skills and tackle challenges with resilience, all within an environment that fosters learning and play.

 

Fostering Independence

In Skylarks, we have an adult to child ratio of 1:8 and every pupil has a primary and secondary key person. The key person takes responsibility for the pupil’s personal care, liaises with parents and monitors developmental progress. Staff ensure pupils’ independence and self-care are promoted as they enter their final year before school.


Guided by EYFS Principles

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Guidance (EYFS), which is the statutory play-based curriculum. The EYFS covers seven areas of learning: 
 

Prime Areas

  • Personal Social Emotional Development.
  • Communication and Language.
  • Physical Development.


Specific Areas

  • Literacy.
  • Mathematics.
  • Understanding the World.
  • Expressive Arts and Design.
     

Observations are used at weekly planning meetings to help devise a programme of fun and stimulating activities relevant to each pupil’s development and interests.
