If you need any information you can contact the staff in Arundel through:
- Come to speak to us briefly when your child arrives in school/when you pick up
- Making a note in the home/school diary (we aim to check these daily)
- Contacting the office to arrange an out-of-school-hours meeting with the class teacher (for more pressing matters that require longer conversations)
Your child's book bag should always contain the following: reading diary, home-school diary, your child's current reading book). Please write a note in the home-school diary if there is a change to the adult picking your child up (even if a parent/grandparent we haven't yet met), this is to ensure your child's safety.

Early Years Foundation Stage
At St Andrew's, we believe our fundamental objective is to develop the whole child. Our wide ranging and diverse curriculum ensures children are able to learn through their preferred style and access all areas of the National Curriculum through child centred, fun learning. In the Early Years Foundation Stage, a phase unique in its primary focus on children's Personal, Social and Emotional development and identification of the characteristics of effective learning, our provision enables all children to learn through play and self-initiated activities. Children's social and communication skills are scaffolded and kindness is always encouraged. Their physical development is a priority. Their independence is taught and modelled.
You can find more details about the Early Years Foundation Stage, including a list of end of year expectations (Early Learning Goals) by clicking on this link: EYFS Profile
Children's learning is recorded in the form of observations in Learning Journals. These are shared with parents at regular Pupil Progress meetings and our open door policy means we love parent visitors and drop ins to see how their children are doing!
