--- title: "Early Years" url: "https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/early-years" school: "Harehills Primary School" --- # 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. We have **90** places in reception, spread across three classes. Each year we stagger our intake in order to ensure the children make the best start possible. This enables the children to settle easily, whilst they get used to the day-to-day routines of school. All children in reception receive a free school meal as part of the government's universal free school meal offer. They will have their lunch together within the Hall/Studio as part of our Family Service arrangements and staff will be on hand to make sure that everybody is happy! ![Photo Slider](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/images/pages/EYFotoS.gif) ![Photo slider 2](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/images/pages/EYFotoS-2.gif) ![Photo slider 3](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/images/pages/EYFotoS-3.gif) ![Photo Slider 4](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/images/pages/EYFotoS-4.gif) ![Photo slider 5](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/images/pages/EYFotoS-5-2.gif) ![Photo slider](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/images/pages/EYFotoS-6.gif) ### EYFS Attendance We ask our children to be an Attendance **H.E.R.O.** (**H**ere **E**very day **R**eady **O**n time) and help us achieve our school Attendance Target of… ![Attendance Thermometer](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/images/pages/Thermometer_Attendance.png) ![Attendance Targets](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/images/AttendanceTargets.png) #### EYFS Attendance Class of the Half Term This chart will be updated each half term to show the class with the best overall attendance. ![Attendance class of the half term](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/images/EYFS_Attendance_HT5_25.PNG) #### Overall Class of the Year: Watch this space... ### Early Years - [Welcome to Early Years](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/early-years/welcome-to-early-years) - [Staff](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/early-years/staff) - [Starting School](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/early-years/starting-school) - [Early Years Curriculum ](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/early-years/early-years-curriculum) - [Prospectus](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/early-years/prospectus) ![Harehills Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/harehills-primary-school/images/logo/SchoolLogo_1600-white.png) ### Harehills Primary School Darfield Road Leeds West Yorkshire LS8 5DQ 0113 235 0539 ### Useful Links - [Attendance](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/families/attendance) - [Vacancies](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/job-vacancies) - [Term Dates](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/calendar) - [Admissions](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/families/admissions) - [Class Dojo](https://teach.classdojo.com/#/schools/4f0e08dd3b7c029066dc4786/story) - [Arbor](https://harehills-primary-school.uk.arbor.education/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574246122575) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 Harehills Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://harehills.leeds.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
