Early Years
Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage at Harehills Primary School We have up to 78 places in our nursery. Starting pre-school can be lots of fun for children as they can make new friends and begin to explore new things. Before your child begins nursery, our staff will visit you and your child at home to make arrangements for their induction. |

Early Years Curriculum
At Harehills Primary School our school’s motto of ‘Learn, Laugh, Love' is at the heart of our curriculum.
Our Early Years Foundation Stage has been designed to nurture the natural curiosity, talents and attributes brought by each unique child in a safe and stimulating environment. We want our children to have the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to be confident, independent and happy learners.
Our curriculum has been developed using:
- the Statutory framework for Early years
- Development Matters
- Our knowledge of our children and their start points.
As a part of the curriculum the children experience the seven areas of learning through a balance of whole class/group teaching and play based learning. This is through the children’s interests, topics, themes, continuous provision activities and phonics.
The seven areas of learning include:
- Three prime areas:
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Personal, social and emotional development
- The children are also supported through the four specific areas, through which the three prime areas are strengthened and applied:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive arts and design
