Investors in Children Quality
Assurance Scheme Accreditation
North Cerney C of E Primary School (38 on roll),
near Cirencester, is one of the first schools
in Gloucestershire to achieve accreditation
to the above scheme. The award has been made
in recognition of the high quality of teaching
and learning in the Foundation Stage. The provision
for the under fives at North Cerney is based
on the Bristol Standard Quality Assurance for
the Foundation Stage. The standard covers 10
dimensions :
| |
Aims, objectives, values |
|
Planning, assessment and record
keeping |
| |
Relationships and interactions |
|
Staffing |
| |
Learning & teaching strategies |
|
Equal Opportunities |
| |
The physical environment |
|
Partnership with parents |
| |
Learning experiences/curriculum |
|
Monitoring & Evaluation |
The early years philosophy underpinning the
Bristol Standard Foundation Stage curriculum
is in line with North Cerney’s ethos which
is that learning should be carefully planned
and structured, with an emphasis on activities
that are fun, relevant to and motivating for,
each child. This recently achieved accreditation
formally recognises that the school is delivering
the Foundation Stage curriculum in a way that
supports children’s learning through planned
and spontaneous activities.
This is a significant achievement by a small
school ; congratulations to the head teacher
and Foundation Stage staff.
