Welcome to Thursby School Foundation Stage Unit. 

Welcome to our Foundation Stage Unit.

This is where your wonderful children will start their school journey. Nursery children can join us the term after their 3rd birthday, or any time after. If you choose for your child to start Thursby School for their Reception year they will start in the September of the academic year. 

In our class we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework (EYFS). We use this statutory document to plan for children's learning and development,

and to support them in gaining knowledge and skills to enable them to be 'life-long learners and achieve their own version of success'
