Welcome to Reception
EYFS at Cheadle Catholic Infant School is a really special place to be.
During their time with us your child will learn to listen well, take part in conversations, become independent, resilient, confident to try new things, share, take turns and above all we hope that they will learn to love school and education.
EYFS is where we lay the foundations for future learning and we will do this in partnership with you.
Our EYFS children are very much part of our school family and take part in whole school assemblies, sport’s events and much more.
At Cheadle Catholic Infant School we truly believe in the following quotation from the DfE and we ensure that our provision reflects it’s message.
‘Every child deserves the best possible start in life and support to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experience between birth and age 5 has a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in it’s own right and it provides the foundation for children to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.’
