Welcome to 'The Canon Millett Early Years Foundation Stage Unit'. We are excited to take you with us, on this, an exciting new chapter for St Mary's Catholic Primary School. Canon Millett, our priest, epitomises the word 'Unity' and we are beyond proud to be named after him. Our Early Years Practitioners are thrilled to come together as a team to foster the principles of the EYFS Framework, provide high quality provision for our youngest children and celebrate our kind, inspiring and warm-hearted children. The Pre-School and Reception children have many opportunities to play and grow together but time is also reserved for quiet, focused tasks to scaffold each child's next steps according to their year group. We believe in a curriculum that accounts for children's spiritual and emotional wellbeing, encouraging a love and appreciation of the outdoors and establishing an environment that is welcoming and inclusive.

Everyone is welcome at St Mary's!

This year, more than ever, we intend to 'look outward' and build relationships within the wider community. Mrs Warburton, our EYFS Leader, would love to hear from any parents, local settings or practitioners who would like to collaborate, seek support, share in good practice or simply network. Take a look at our page to see what a fantastic start we the year we have had...
